Mounting arms and legs 

We will attach the arms and legs to the button mount.

To do this, we need 4 buttons with a diameter of 11-12 mm and a thread for fastening. For attaching the legs, I use the same thread that knitted the panties (but it is advisable to use a stronger thread). To attach the handles, I use the white thread that I used when knitting the hands. We use a double thread.

We fix the handles at the level of 37 and 38 rows. We fasten the legs at the level of 13 and 14 rows. The photo shows the legs.

We insert the needle between the 13th and 14th rows of the body, leaving a small tip so that you can tie a knot. We bring the needle on the opposite side at the same level.

Next, we pierce the leg and connect it to the body. Now we stretch the needle through the button and insert the needle again into the leg.

Next, we insert the needle into the body between 13 and 14 rows, from where the thread initially comes out and bring it out on the opposite side of the body at the starting point. Now we take the tail, which was left at the beginning, pull it up and tightly tie the knot. Next, we pierce the second leg with a needle and connect it to the body. We also stretch the needle through the button and again insert the needle into the leg, and then into the body.

We bring out the needle on the opposite side of the body, where the leg is attached, cut the thread, pull it up and tightly tie the knot.

With difficulty with thread fastening, you can find video tutorials on the Internet on thread fastening. 

We attach the handles in the same way.

Next, you need to tie a strap on panties . 

Dial 49 ch + 1 ch rise.

Knit 49 sbn, leave a long thread for sewing.

Sew one end to the pants from the back. Sew the other end along with the button on the front of the panties.

You can make tinting on the nostrils using brown pastels.
