We stuff tightly only the lower part of the hand. The top can be stuffed weakly or not stuffed at all. Otherwise, the arms may stick out to the side after sewing. After I crochet the last row, I knitted another 4sc so that the foot took the correct shape when folded. You may need to crochet more or less, as the density of knitting is different for everyone. I think from the photo it is clear how to fold the foot. Then crochet 6sc for both walls. Leave the thread for sewing if you sew. I will tie my hands.

Tail

We make 13 ch. From the second loop from the hook we crochet 12 connecting posts. We leave the threads on both sides, which would then be tied to the body.
