ASSEMBLY OF THE PARTS:
1) Sew the snout to the head between R12 and R15, centered with the eyes.
2) Join the ears to the head by sewing them between V2 and V7, slightly to one side. Fold the ears over the head and sew a couple of stitches at the tip of the ear to secure.
3) Sew the arms to each side of the body between rows V14 and V15.
4) Join the legs by sewing them to the bottom of the body, leaving 4 stitches of distance between them.
5) Sew the tail behind the body and twist it over itself so that it stays curly.
6) Join by sewing the bow tie under the snout on the pig with bow tie.
