Assembly of Crochet Grookey

Assemble as shown in pictures- be sure to pin limbs in place before sewing in place.
Leaves: If not already done, sew the stick across the bottom of the 2 leaves.
Head: Sew the bottom of the leaves to the top of the head. On either side, attach the ears. On the front – sew on the yellow “eye sockets” piece. Finally, slightly overlapping the bottom of the eyesocket piece and the head – sew on the orange beak.
Body: Sew the head on top of the body. Sew the two arms to the front of the body- cover the arm openings by pressing them onto the body. Sew the feet over the thighs, then sew each thigh to one side of the body. Sew the tail onto the back of the body- hiding the end of the tail wire inside the body- if one was used.

Facial details (eyes) were added by needle felting loose yarn ends . Alternatively, felt pieces can be cut out and glued on. These were worked directly onto the ‘eye’ pieces on the head.
