·You will make a couple oval shapes. Here's a good roundup of different shapes for more help http://www.mooglyblog.com/how-to-make-5-basic-crochet-shapes-free-patterns-and-links/ ·While the wool-ease colors were perfect, it's really hard to work with. I found it too soft and frizzy for amigurumi. ·Feel free to contact me with any questions or mistakes found!

Snaut
This shape is an oval. It is started by crocheting around a foundation chain. Think of it as crocheting a circle, but with 2 extra stitches in the middle that make it longer.

Assembly
·Sew the snout on the face, below and between the eyes. Attach nose and stuff just before closing it off. ·Embroider a litle smile. I like to use yarn split in half for embroidering. ·Sew the ears on both sides. Use a couple hidden stitches to tack them down so they don't flap around. ·Sew the tail on her rump, just like the ears. ·Stuff and sew the legs under the body. The front legs are roughly at r12-r16. The back legs are roughly r33- r37. About 4 visible stitches between each pair of legs ·Sew the crown on top of her head, right between the ears.
...she smells like hotdog water
