👉 Photo-style tip: At this stage, lightly stuff the head. Insert safety eyes between Rnds 13–14, about 8 stitches apart. Pin the eyes first to check placement before securing. This ensures a lifelike gaze.

    8–9. sc around (36)

Stuff lightly, flatten slightly into an oval.

👉 How to shape the snout:

  • Pin the snout below the eyes before sewing.
  • While attaching, press the bottom slightly outward so it protrudes.
  • After sewing, embroider a vertical black line down the middle, and a horizontal curve at the bottom for the mouth. This creates the rounded, smiling look.

🐽 Nose (black)

  1. MR, 6 sc (6)
  2. inc x6 (12)

🎨 Color Change Tips

  • Always pull the new color through on the last yarn-over of the old stitch.
  • Work over the unused yarn for a few stitches to carry it neatly inside.
  • Keep all transitions at the back of the piece so they don’t show.
  • For chest spots, crochet small tan ovals: MR 6 → inc (12) → (sc, inc) (18). Sew onto chest.

🐾 Assembly (Photo-style guidance)

  1. Head & body: Pin first, making sure the head is centered, then sew firmly with whip stitch.
  2. Snout: Pin in place under the eyes, slightly stuffed, sew evenly around. Shape while sewing.
  3. Legs: Position front legs forward, back legs to sides for a sitting posture.
  4. Ears: Pin first, adjust to ensure symmetry, then sew.
  5. Tail: Sew at back near bottom.
  6. Add embroidered claws, eyebrows, and mouth line last.

👉 Tip: Take progress photos at each step or use pins to “preview” placement before sewing permanently.
