ASSEMBLY
Assemble in this order for best results!*
Attach head to body.
Using a yarn needle, attach head to body at openings using your preferred method of sewing together amigurumi parts. Each opening will have six stitches and line up evenly. I prefer to use a method where you create a vertical stitch by stitching behind the post from right to left on each stitch.
Attach arms to body.
Position arms as desired on body and sew on using long tail from arm and a yarn needle. If it helps, you can use a stitch marker or small pin to hold the arms in place while you are working. I usually put them about one row below the top of the body/bottom of the head and a little to the front.

Mask

Jason would not be complete without his signature mask. Cut an oval out of white felt just about the size of the head. Using permanent markers (or a paint pen) create the markings on the mask, using this simplified reference graphic. Place a small amount of tacky glue on the back of the mask and glue it directly on the front of the head. Cut the first piece of ribbon, measured to fit around the back of the head and overlap each side of the mask just slightly. Using a lighter or heat source, melt the ends of the ribbon a little so they don’t fray. You can also use fray check for this. Place a thin line of glue down the length of the ribbon and attach to head. While this ribbon is drying, cut another length of ribbon that will fit from the top of the mask (be sure it overlaps) to the first piece of ribbon on the back of the head. Treat the ends of the ribbon with heat or fray check as before. Glue on by placing a thin line of tacky glue the length of the ribbon.

*If you are new to amigurumi, assembly can be tough! Here are my favorite tutorials from other websites to help you through.
For attaching open pieces (like the head and body)
For attaching closed pieces (like the arms to the body)
