- Head: Begin with a magic ring in peach yarn and increase at intervals to form the base of the head. Insert safety eyes between rows after adding the eye roundies (constructed separately with increases from a magic ring).

Ears & Body:

- Body: Piece the body in peach yarn, including an ovular white belly, with increases and smooth transitions between colors for a neat finish.
Final Details:

- Filling & Assembly: Fill the head and body with fiberfill. Attach the triangular nose and the snout to the head, then position the ears and securely stitch them in place. The final assembly involves connecting the body, head, and limbs to form your tiger in a sitting position. Optionally, you can stitch through the legs and arms to keep them in place.
