Assembly of Crochet Mudkip

First attach the tummy stripe to the bottom of the body. Attach the jaw to the bottom of the head and head fin to the top of the head. Attach the tail to the back of the body and head to the front of the body. Now, attach the feet such that the front two feet (larger) are able to push the head up (angled slightly back/away from the head in their placement on the body.) Finally create the eyes using felt pieces and or needle felting as desired.

I hope you enjoy your Mudkip Amigurumi!
