SEWING INSTRUCTIONS:

  1. Attach ears to the head, placing them between rows 2 and 6.
  2. Position arms and legs wherever you think they look best.
  3. Sew the tail to the back, placing it between rows 18 and 20.
  4. Fix the muzzle to the face between rows 8 and 11, ensuring it lines up with the eyes.

DECORATION INSTRUCTIONS:

  1. Cut a strand of yarn about 20-25 inches long for the nose and spots.
  2. To make the nose:
    • Start by threading a needle with the yarn.
    • Push the needle from the back of the head to a spot between the muzzle.
    • Sew three stitches in a triangle shape for the nose. Finish by pulling the needle out at the starting
    • point for the spots.
  3. To add spots:
    Continue with the same yarn, sewing horizontal stitches (like the backside) for spots.
  • Move the needle out to where you want the next spot, changing rows randomly.
  • Keep adding spots to your preference.
  • If you run out of yarn, start a new piece by inserting the needle at a random stitch and bringing it out where you want the next spot.
  • Leave a short tail of yarn when starting with a new piece so you can hide it later.
  • Remember to hide all yarn tails when finished by weaving them into the body.
