🪡 Assembly & Finishing

  1. Sew the head firmly to the body, keeping the seam smooth.

  2. Attach arms and legs securely, ensuring symmetry.

  3. Add horns first, then sew ears slightly beneath them.

  4. Embroider short, curved eyebrows above each eye.

  5. Lightly blush the cheeks with pastel or fabric paint for a soft look.

  6. Adjust stuffing so the bull stands independently.

💡 Tips

  • Keep tension consistent for a neat, firm texture.

  • Place safety eyes before closing the head completely.

  • If you prefer movable arms, use thread jointing instead of sewing.

  • For a “baby bull” look, shorten the horns by one round each.

🎉 Final Touch

Your handmade bull is now complete — with a gentle pink snout, soft brown coat, curved gray-tipped horns, and a friendly smile that brings warmth to any room. Add a small bow, scarf, or bell for extra personality, and enjoy your sweet new crochet friend! 🐮💖
