Sc in Other Side of the Chain

Finish row 1, then rotate the piece until it’s upside down. Starting
with the same ch as the last stitches you made, crochet into the
unused loops of the starting ch.

Sc the Opening Closed

Fold the piece in half. Put the hook through both the next stitch and
the last stitch you made. Yarn over and pull through both stitches.
Two loops on hook. Yarn over and pull through both loops. Repeat
for each pair of stitches along to end.

Sewing Head to Body

This is how I sew the head to the body, but if there's another way which you're more comfortable with, then
sew it your way.

Step 1: Place the two pieces together. Thread the needle around the
post of the first stitch on the first piece and pull through.

 Step 2: Thread the needle through the adjacent stitch on the
second piece and pull through.

Step 3: Thread the needle around the post of the next stitch on the
first piece and pull through.

Step 4: Thread the needle around the post of the next stitch on the
second piece and pull through.

Step 5: Go along the two pieces in the same way for a few stitches.

 Step 6: Pull the stitches tight before carrying on in the same way all
the around the two pieces.
