ASSEMBLY
Assemble in the order of the below pieces. I would recommend using a photo of Azumarill as reference for best possible outcome.Use black embroidery floss to sew on nose and smile.Cut out two pieces of pink felt for the ears. Cut out 10 round and oval pieces of white felt in various sizes as seen on Azumarill photos. I would recommend glueing the felt pieces onto the ears and body once all the limbs have been sewn onto the body.

ZIG ZAG TAIL
Yarn: Black
Insert the pipe cleaner around a dc of row 6 in the back of Azumarill. Pull through and fold in half. Pipe cleaners seem to come in different variations of 'fluffiness', so I would reccoment trimming it down a little if it's very fluffy.
Attach the black yarn with a slip stitch in the same stitch you inserted the pipe cleaner. dc around the pipe cleaner until 1 cm of the pipe cleaner remains, fasten off. Insert the remaining pipe cleaner into the tail ball and sew the two together. Once all ends are sewn in fold the tail to create a zig zag look, and voilá! Azumarill is done!
