F.O, Leaving a long thread for sewing to the body later on, Now that you have
completed the hands and arms, you will notice the unsewn ends of the fingers
and thumbs with these ends you need to secure each end of the finger with a
couple of stitches and cut the ends but not to the tip of the finger, leave a tiny bit
of thread sticking out of each finger and thumb, with these ends you will
separate them with your fingers to make them look hairy, I implanted a couple
more strands of green thread to make them extra hairy, once you have done
this we will move on to make the boots, legs and body!(Please find below
picture of completed hands and arms):-

end- Place hook and strand through one of the holes in the head- Pull loop end
