Ears (make 2) crochet with Caramel yarn
RND 1: 6 sc in magic ring
Sl st in the 1s st, and ch 1
(do these in each RND of the ears)
RND 2: inc (6x) = 12 sc
RND 3: 1 sc, 1 inc (6x) = 18 sc
RND 4 & 5: sc all around = 2 RNDS of 18 sc
RND 6: 1 sc, 1 dec (6x) = 12 sc
RND 7 - 9: sc all around = 3 RNDS of 12 sc
RND 10: 1 sc, 1 dec (4x) = 8 sc
Flatten the edges, 4 sc through sts of both layers (closing the hole)
ARMS (make 2)
RND 1: 6 sc in magic ring
Sl st in the 1s st, and ch 1
(do these in each RND of the arms)
RND 2: 2 sc, 1 inc (2x) = 8 sc
RND 3 - 7: sc all around = 5 RNDS of 8 sc
Before closing the hole. Put a small amount of fiberfill inside of the arms
Flatten the edges, 4 sc through sts of both layers (closing the hole)
LEGS (make 2)
RND 1: 6 sc in magic ring
Sl st in the 1s st, and ch 1
(do these in each RND of the legs)
RND 2: 1 sc, 1 inc (3x) = 9 sc
RND 3 - 5: sc all around = 3 RNDS of 9 sc
Sl st in the first st and cut off the yarn
Make the other legs with the same procedures and continue working on the body with the same yarn.
BODY
Ch 3, sl st in the last st of the other legs
RND 1: ch 1, 9 sc around the legs, 1 sc in every 3 chs, 9 sc around of the other legs, 1 sc in each of the other side of 3 chs = 24 sc
RND 2: 3 sc, 1 inc (6x) = 30 sc
Put an st marker in the 1st st and work in a continuous spiral
RND 3 - 5: sc all around = 3 RNDS of 30 sc
RND 6: 3 sc, 1 dec (6x) = 24 sc
RND 7 & 8: sc all around = 2 RNDS of 24 sc
RND 9: 2 sc, 1 dec (6x) = 18 sc
RND 10: sc all around = 1 RND of 18 sc
RND 11: 2 sc, join the arms on the body 4 sc through sts of both layers, 5 sc, join the other arms 4 sc through sts of both layers, 3 sc = 18 sc
Stuff the body as you go
Continue working on the head
HEAD
RND 1: FLO, 2 sc, 1 inc (6x) = 24 sc
RND 2: 3 sc, 1 inc (6x) = 30 sc
RND 3: 2 sc, 1 inc, 4 sc (6x) = 36 sc
Start the RND with 2 sc & 1 inc then continue to 4 sc & 1 inc around (end the RND with 2 sc)
RND 4: 5 sc, 1 inc (6x) = 42 sc
RND 5: 3 sc, 1 inc, 6 sc (6x) = 48 sc
Start the RND with 3 sc & 1 inc then continue to 6 sc & 1 inc around (end the RND with 3 sc)
RND 6 - 8: sc all around = 3 RNDS of 48 sc
RND 9: 3 sc, 1 dec, 6 sc (6x) = 42 sc
Start the RND with 3 sc & 1 dec then continue to 6 sc & 1 dec around (end the RND with 3 sc)
RND 10: 5 sc, 1 dec (6x) = 36 sc
Place the st markers to RND 10 in 15 & 22 sts (6 sts apart)
RND 11 - 13: sc all around = 3 RNDS of 36 sc
put the safety eyes where you placed the st markers and place the safety nose in the center of RND 7 (see the video above)
RND 14: 7 sc, join the ears on the head 4 sc through sts of both layers, 1 sc in every 14 sts, join the other ears 4 sc through sts of both layers, 1 sc in every 7 sts = 36 sc
RND 15: 2 sc, 1 dec, 4 sc (6x) = 30 sc
Start the RND with 2 sc & 1 dec then continue to 4 sc & 1 dec around (end the RND with 2 sc)
RND 16: 3 sc, 1 dec (6x) = 24 sc
Stuff the head as you go
RND 17: 1 sc, 1 dec, 2 sc (6x) = 18 sc
Start the RND with 1 sc & 1 dec then continue to 2 sc & 1 dec around (end the RND with 1 sc)
RND 18: 1 sc, 1 dec (6x) = 12 sc
RND 19: dec (6x) = 6 sc
fasten off and cut off the yarn, leaving a long yarn tail
Weave in the front loops of the rest 6 sts, then pull to close the hole, hide the tail, and cut off the excess yarn.
See the video above how I embroider the mouth of the puppy
