Every part on Nimbulus is crocheted separately in continuous rounds and then attached by sewing. The tail has a metal wire so that you can shape it to ensure that Nimbulus can express all his feelings and keep the balance when he runs about. The pattern has images for guidance in both the crocheting part and the assembly.

I have used acrylic yarn (130 m by 50 g). If you use another yarn, make sure to change crochet hook accordingly.
