 Let's start?
Work in a spiral and use the stitch marker at the beginning of each row.

* Stuffing as the work progresses.

Head
1. 6sc in mr (6)
2. 6incr (12)
3. (1sc, 1incr) x 6 (18)
4. (1sc, 1incr, 1sc) x 6 (24)
5-6. 24sc (24) Before proceeding, let's add
7. 6sc, (1incr, 1sc) x6, 6sc (30) a strategic fur on the eyes
8. 6sc, (2sc, 1incr) x6, 6sc (36) and nose.

9. 6sc, (3sc, 1incr) x6, 6sc (42)

10. 6sc, (1incr, 4sc) x6, 6sc (48)
11-13. 48sc (48)

Position your eyes between rows 7 and 8 with 10pb apart (the left eye is just after the
second row increase). Do not secure it with the safety lock yet, we will add pieces of
100% acrylic yarn of 20cm around the space where the eye will be, according to the
images below.

 With the pet wire brush, shred the wool. Tip: start to fray at the ends to prevent the
wires from breaking easily. https://youtu.be/sXKDqlqldZc

After unraveling all the wool threads around the eyes, use a flat iron at medium
temperature to seal the fur. https://youtu.be/bbUM6s7rio4

After this procedure, you can definitely put your safety eyes.

Position your nose between rows 2 and 3 and repeat the same procedure for the
strategic fur dog. You can now add the fur along the muzzle and on your puppy's
forehead.

starting the chains (will be used
for sewing).

Sew the ears between rows
11 and 15 of the head,
towards the eyes.
Pre-pin the stitches to be
sewn.

Insert the fur on the head

following the points marked
in the images below. You can
add more fur if you feel it is
necessary.

For each strand of yarn

added, leave one end of the
strand on the left (falling
under the ear) and the other
on the right (top of the head).
Do this for all points scored.

On the back of the head, the

same procedure must be
done: for each strand of yarn
added, leave one tip up and
one down.

Finally, add thread to fill the

head and give the desired
look!
Ex: Add more fur under the
muzzle hair, below the ears
and behind the head.

To help with the placement of the yarns, create a guide line in the middle of the
back using the thin black yarn (later it will be retined).
Work following the images below.

Insert the dog fur into the rest of the body. Add into the paws and around the
neck. You can add more fur in the layers below, as you see fit.

We will now sew the back legs on the body. Make sure they keep him in balance.
Tip: Pin before making the final seam!
Afterwards, with the same thread used on the body, give some points to attach the
back of the front paw to the belly, that way, your puppy will always be in a sitting
position. https://youtu.be/u9b0JcMsWqg
Finally, sew the head to the body. Remove the pins as you sew and make sure it is
staying in the correct place.
