assembly
sew the ears to the top of the head 3 rounds apart
sew the snout between the eyes
sew the arms centered under the area
where it starts to slope up into the head.
sew the legs sticking out so the zebra can sit up.
cut strands of black yarn into strands about 5 inches long
attach them to the head and bottom latch-hook style
(these pictures show my Little Unicorn but the process is the same.)
