If you want you can make the legs and arms movable as you can see in the picture below. This
Koala bear does have such legs but without using buttons. It is better to not use buttons if smaller
kids would play with the toy. If the bear is for bigger kids, you can use buttons so the legs and
arms would move even better. Don’t forget to use strong thread which does not break easily!

Detailed description how to sew on legs using buttons can be found on our blog:

http://kamlin-patterns.blogspot.cz/p/tips-and-tricks.html

Sew on the nose (stuff it a little with the toy stuffing first), attach ears; embroider mouth and eyebrows with black thread. Than
attach the crochet heart on the belly and sew on the pink button. If you wish you can use black thread to embroider black short
lines over the heart so it would look like a patch.

Now when the bear is finished you can decorate the ears so it would be shaggy. I took the same material (Elian Nicky) in white;
cut 3-4 cm long pieces (the length is not too important, you will shorten the length at the end so the pieces do not have to bee
the same length each; just do not cut them too short because it would be difficult to work with it). Than I always took 3 pieces at
once, placed them on the ear and using white thread I sewed it on the ear with one stitch using sewing needle. Than I took
another 3 pieces together and did the same next to the first stitch… all the way to the end of the ear. Than, to make sure it stays
on place well, I made stitches with white thread all the way back over the white yarn. Than I took scissors and cut the yarn short,
so the ears would look shaggy.
