Check image #1 on Reference Images to see how it looks like. DETAILS: Now that you have all the pieces, let s put it all together! Remember that to attach all the parts to the body, we are going to use the tapestry needle. Start sewing the head to the body. Then sew the arms (check image #2). Sew the ears (check image #3). Sew the legs and be careful with their position (check image #4). Make sure your Buddha can sit still without falling to its sides. Cut thin half moon shaped felt slices to make his eyes and use the glue to attach it (check image #5). You now have a Buddha prepared to receive a cloak (check image #6). The cloak can be just put over his arms or you can sew it to the sides of the amigurumi to hold it more tightly. Namaste! LEGS (X2) Light brown skin color. Before starting, please notice that we are working from the feet to the thighs, from the bottom to the upper part. Rnd 2: *sc in the next 2 st, inc* x2 (8) Change to yellow yarn. Rnd 3-10: sc in each sc (8) body. Stuff. 4

Please, do not redistribute this PDF file. My blog has several free amigurumi patterns. Notice: Don't leave small amigurumi pieces near unattended children due to the risk of swallowing it. Also, keep in mind that is always better to use anti-allergic yarn if the amigurumi is going to be constantly manipulated (used as a toy). 5
