Things you need to know about this project
 Work in continuous spiral, do not join, you will

be told when you need to close the rounds with a sl st.
 Crochet tight to prevent gaps between the stitches that will

not allow the stuffing to show through the fabric.
 For this Dog project I used 3,0 mm crochet hook

The Dog is about 16.5 cm tall (6.5inch).
 Use a stitch marker or piece of yarn to mark the end or the beginning
of a round, move the marker at the end of every round.
Tip! from this pattern you can make smaller or larger Dog by using a bulkier or finer yarn.
choose a smaller crochet hook at least one size smaller then suggested on the yarn label. by
changing the Dog size make sure to adjust the size of the safety eyes, also you can use for
the eyes buttons, French knot or paint eyes.

Connecting the Legs and Arms to the Body

In this basic methods I explain how to make joints limbs connected to each other through the body with a yarn and
remain still movable.
Legs
Place the legs to the sides of the body and mark with a pin where the legs will be attached to the body.
place the pin just beneath row 33.
Arms
Place the arms to the sides of the body and mark with a pin where the arms will be attached to the body.
place the pin just beneath row 25 and make sure that the hand bulge is facing the front.

-10-
This example is for Legs and Arms

1. After you mark with a pin where the limbs will be
attached to the body, cut a long yarn (same yarn you
used for the body) long enough to go from one side to
the other side of the body.
2. Insert the needle where you mark with a pin and

pass the needle through the body from one side to the
other side where is the second mark pin. squash the
body so it will be more easy for you to push the needle
all the way through leaving a long yarn tail on the first
side.
3. Make a small stitch on inside of one limb bring the

needle at the point where the joint will be.
4. Pass the needle back through the body so the

needle reappears again close to the starting yarn.
5. Make a small stitch at the inside of the second limb

and make sure that the height is the same as the stitch
on the first limb.
If you want to make a stronger joint, repeat the entire
process again.
6.The two yarn tails ends should be close together.

pull tight to attach firmly the limbs into the side of the
body and tie the two ends together 3 times.
7. Reinsert the 2 yarn tails into the needle and then

insert the needle into the body and bring it out in a
different point on the body, pull it through and cut the
yarn tails off.
If you did it right, the limbs will stay in the position you
set them without falling down.
If you didn’t attach firmly, the limbs will fall down when
you release them.
To fix it you can stitch through the joints again more
tightly and cut the old yarn off or leaving it in place.
Connect the limbs Pull tight to attach firmly the limbs into the side of
the body and tie the two ends together 3 times. Finish
