Anchoring the Head
Since the head doesn’t flop over on its own, thread the black body tail from the MR through a long needle and poke it through the top right part of the body near round 20, thread it horizontally through 1-2 stitches on the bottom right side of the head near round 22, and poke it back through where it came out of the body and through the bottom where the MR starts. Pull tight so the head and body are touching and no thread is exposed. Tie off with a knot and weave in end.
