Head and Body:
**Crochet around the wire
**I like to keep my rounds in the center of his body (in this case, his underbelly) so in some areas, I added extra stitches to a round to keep the center consistent. There is a lot of room for flexibility so add stitches as you see fit 🙂

**The wire exiting the legs will be inserted directly into Haku’s body before sewing his legs on. I ended up folding the wire for several reasons: to shorten/adjust the length as much as I needed, to hide sharp ends, as well as to make it a little sturdier.
