Design Notes:
I used Caron ilb for this pattern. I find this worsted weight yarn to be thicker than other worsted weight yarns. If using any other brand, I suggest using a 4.omm crochet hook or smaller. You can use any yarn weight and appropriate hook to create this pattern. This will affect the size of your finished piece. Amigurumi does need to be crocheted tightly so the stuffing does not show through. If using a different yarn weight, make sure to use a smaller hook than the yarn recommends. In addition, safety eyes can be considered a choking hazard. If you intend on giving this dollto a child under 3 years old, it is highly suggested you use yarn eyes in place of the plastic safety eyes. Pattern Copyright @2o15 Megan Alameda.

FURINSTRUCTIONS
Taking one strand of DK weight yarn approximately 5-6" long, fold yarn in half. Pull yarn under one stitch and pull ends through the loop of the yarn. Continue this process for each strand of fur. Step #1 - Legs Begin attaching your fur at round 4. Attach yarn around every stitch until approximately round 13. Trim fur to desired length.
Step #2 - Body Part #1
Begin attaching fur at round 5. Attach yarn around every stitch until approximately round 6. Mark a 4 stitches wide x 3 stitches tall square on each side of the body. This is approximately where the legs will be attached. Attach yarn around every stitch not included in your marked square until round 10. Trim fur to desired length.
Step #3 - Tail Begin attaching fur to the tip of the tail. Attach yarn around every stitch leaving the last two rounds without fur. Trim fur to desired length. Step #4 - Attaching Legs & Tail Attach legs to sides of the body in the space marked. Once attached, fill in all stiches without fur both on the top of the leg as well as any stitches not covered by the leg on the body. Stitch tail to the back of the body right above the last row of fur. Once attached, fill in all stitches on the tail. Trim fur to match length of fur previously trimmed.
Step #5 -Body Part #2 Continue attaching fur to around every stitch until you reach Round #25 of the body. Trim fur to match length of fur previously trimmed. Step #6-Arms &Ears Beginning attaching fur to the bottom of the arm. Attach yarn around every stitch for three rounds. The rest of the arm will only need fur on the top most part of the arm, leaving the underside of the arm with no fur. Trim fur to desired length. Repeat the same process for the ears.
Step #7 - Arms Attach Arms to Round #23 of body. Weave in ends. Once attached, fill in all stiches without fur both on the top of the arm, underneath the arm and across the front and back of the body. Trim fur to match length of fur previously trimmed. Step #8 -Muzzle & Ears Stuff Muzzle and attach to face with the top aligned at Rnd 13 and the bottom aligned at Rnd 2o. Weave in ends. Insert long tail of nose through center stitch and weave in the tail. Cut any remaining length of yarn after weaving in the end. Attach Ears to Round 5 of the head. Weave in ends. Once attached, fill in all stiches without fur on the ear. Trim fur to match length of fur previously trimmed.
Step #9 - Head Part #1 Begin attaching fur to Round #1 of the head. Attach fur around every stitch on the top of the head to the round where you attached the ear. Lift ears (I put mine in a hairband for easier weaving). Beginning approximately 4-5 stitches to the outer side of the eye, begin attaching fur around every stitch of the head working across the back of the head. Stop attaching fur approximately 4-5 stitches to the opposite eye. You will be leaving the front of the face “un-furred" for the time being. Fill in the complete back and side of the head with fur. Trim fur to desired length. Step #1o -Muzzle Attach fur to each stitch of the muzzle. Make sure to attach fur as close to the nose as possible to prevent emptyspaces.
Do not trim fur yet. Muzzle fur will be longer than the rest of the body. Step #10-Head Part #2 Fill in all stiches without fur beginning at the top of the head leaving three rows above the eye with no fur creating the puppies “bang" Trim fur so it just barely reaches the eye without covering it.
Step #11 - Eyes
Attach fur to the stitches surrounding the eyes. You will only need to attach fur approximately 2 stiches above/below the eye and 2 stitches toward center portion of the face. Fill in the corners to create a square-ish shape. You will not need to fill in any fur on the outer side of the eye.
Arrange fur so that the bottom center corner of the fur is pulled up and across the top of the eye. Pin fur in place. Pull remaining fur across the bottom of the eve. Pin fur in place.
With a sewing needle and thread, stitch fur in place at the location of the pins. Remove Pins.
Fill in all stiches without fur not covered by the fur surrounding the eye. Do not trim fur yet. Front facial fur will be longer than the rest of the body. Step #12 - Head Part #3 You will be filling in the empty space on the front of the face. Beginning below the last row of fur, across the middle most 4 stitches, attach fur around each stitch for 4 stitches. Repeat for two more rows. This will leave an empty patch right above the muzzle.
Pull fur down and pin to the bridge of the muzzle.
With a sewing needle and thread, stitch fur in place at the location of the pins. Remove Pins. Trim fur so it comes up to the edge of the nose without covering it. Trim remaining facial fur and muzzle fur to the desired length. Admire your hard work! I know this one is definitely a labor of love and I thank you for choosing my pattern.
