Stuff with fiberfill.
The head assembly.

Stuff the head with fiberfill gently to make sewing the muzzle and installing the eyes more comfortable.
Sew the muzzle between rows 7 and 13, stuffing with fiberfill as you crochet.

Place the bridge of the nose in the center of the muzzle.


The BLO row of the bridge of the nose should be at the intersection of the muzzle and head.
Place the bottom part of the bridge of the nose between rows 2-3 of the muzzle.
The upper part is between rows 4 and 5 of the head.
Attach the head to the body using pins and make sure if you are happy with the position of the eyes.
If you are satisfied with the position of the eyes, then put them on the side and sew the bridge of the nose
(do not stuff).
Insert the eyes and secure them.

Stuff the head with fiberfill.


Put more fiberfill into the sides of the head and shape the cheeks.

Sew the ears between rows 4 and 8 of the head.

Embroider the nose by making two stitches under the bridge of the nose using pink thread.

Embroider the border of the nose using dark gray or black yarn.
Insert the needle from the inside of the head and draw it out in the center under the nose.
Make one stitch in the corner of the nose and draw the needle to the other corner of the nose.
Make one stitch in the center under the nose and draw it out from the inside of the head. Tie the tails into a knot.
Make one stitch across the muzzle.
Insert the needle from the inside of the head and draw it out in the center under the nose.
Insert the needle in four rows lower (in the middle) and draw out from the inside of the head.
Tie a knot, break yarn and hide the tail.

Embroider the eyelids by one stitch using dark gray and brown color yarn.
Sew the head to the body. Embroider the claws and stripes with stitches.
You can embroider the claws using the same plush yarn, or you can use 2-ply cotton yarn as I did for the lion.
Visually divide the tips of the paws into three parts and embroider three stitches in each part.
Embroider the stripes on the body randomly. I use a new strand of yarn for each part of the body.
Out tiger is finished!!!

Also, by changing the color of the toy, you can tie a white tiger or lion.
