  • Use black thread to stitch small smile or whisker roots

⚫ How to Make the Spots (Black or Dark Yarn)

You can apply the lynx’s signature dots/spots in one of two ways:

🔘 Method 1: Surface Crochet

  • With black yarn and hook, sl st or sc directly onto the finished body

  • Create X- or triangle-like shapes for natural fur spots

  • Knot and hide ends inside the body

🔘 Method 2: Small Spot Appliqués

  1. MR, 6 sc (6), sl st, FO

  2. Sew these mini black circles onto body, tail, face, and limbs

  3. Vary placements for a natural look

✅ Tip: Mix both methods for variation — embroider tiny dash-shaped flecks on face, use appliqués for body.

🧺 Final Assembly

  1. Sew head onto body securely

  2. Attach front legs under chest, rear legs seated position

  3. Sew tail to the back center, letting it curve upward

  4. Stitch ears and tufts into place

  5. Add final spots and facial details

💡 Customization Ideas

  • Use light gray instead of white for more realistic tones

  • Add a red collar or tiny scarf

  • Make a larger version with chunkier yarn

  • Brush ears and cheeks with a little blush for cuteness

This sweet spotted lynx cub is the perfect mix of wild and cuddly. Whether prowling your desk or sitting proudly on a bookshelf, it’s a fun, eye-catching project for your next crochet adventure! 🐆❄️
