Materials and tools:

The list below is a reference to show you what I have used to make this spaniel.
For the head, body, ears and tail
• 4 Seasons Flinders Cotton 8Ply Yarn 50 g; Colour NATURAL
• A strand of TAN yarn to stitch the nose
For the collar
• Moda Vera GELATO - 50% acrylic, 50% cotton; 135m / 50g; Colour RED
• MILFORD Mercer 40・20g ; Colour BLACK
• MILFORD Mercer 40・20g ; Colour CREAM
• Toy safety eyes (optional)
• 1.00mm hook
• 3.00mm hook
• Polyester fibrefill
• Yarn needle
• Sewing needle (to sew on eyes)

I recommend using a hook one size smaller than what is specified on the
Tip yarn to create tighter stitches. Tighter stitches will give your toy a clean and
polished look preventing the stuffing from showing through.

right stitch. Repeat the horizontal stitch 3-4 times to finish the nose. Tie the two ends together
on the inside.

Place the black piece on top of the white piece so you

can see a bit of white around the edges. I like to make an

sparkle. This is optional but the extra touch does give her
a cuter expression.

Putting Sophie together
Step 1: Sewing the eyes

If you are opting to use crocheted eyes, you can attach them using a sewing needle.
Always work the stitch directly underneath where the eye piece is sitting on.

Pull the yarn tails through the

bottom of the head piece. Tie a
double knot and trim short.

Step 4: Attaching the head to the body
I like to use a stitch called the “mattress stitch” to attach my amigurumi parts. It does take
a bit of practice to master but the end result speaks for itself! This method allows the
stitch to be “invisible” giving you a very clean finish.
The stitch is worked by pulling the yarn through the vertical posts of the body/arm piece
and then inserting your needle in the stitch of the head/body piece directly above/
underneath the stitch you just worked on the head/body piece. Repeat this stitch all the
way around. Make sure to pull the stitch tight to give it the invisible finish.
Using the mattress stitch and Always work the stitch that is After your last mattress stitch,

when sewing the head onto the body.

Step 5: Attaching the legs
You will start off by closing the opening of the leg pieces using a yarn needle.
Remember NOT TO FASTEN OFF as you will be using the same yarn tail to sew the
legs onto the body.
