He measures 7-1/2 sitting and 10 standing. Happy Crocheting!
Thread Jointing Legs Thread jointing is simple. It gives your finished toy flexibility. Here s how: Thread a long piece of dental floss on sewing needle. Run the needle on the inside of the first leg, going over your first stitch to secure it. Bring needle out just below the first stitch. Run the needle through the body where leg is to be attached and bring out on other end of body where the second leg is to be sewn. TIP: Make the sure the feet are facing the right direction. Now do the same with the second leg, running needle through the inside of the leg; bring needle out and insert needle into body and bring out to other end of body where the first leg was attached, pulling the thread tight. When you do this, be careful you do not run the stitch through the first leg. You will repeat this one more time through each leg, for a total of 2 stitches per leg. Now wrap the thread around the first leg twice where you stitched the leg to the body, wrapping tight, run needle through first leg and bring out to other end of the body. Wrap the thread around the second leg 2 times, run needle through body and bring out other end. Secure your stitch with a slip knot, trim thread. NOTE: Make sure you pull the thread tight after each stitch. TIP: You can thread joint the arms follow same directions for thread jointing leg. See Diagram Below.
