Muzzle

Using color brown

Note before you begin: Don’t pull the magic circle tight. The safety nose will be placed in the middle of the magic circle, later in the pattern.

R1: 3 sc into a magic circle {3 sts}Alternate way to begin: chain 2, sc 3 times in 2nd chain from hook {3 sts}

R2: (inc) 3 times {6 sts}

R3: (inc, sc in next st) 3 times {9 sts}

R4: (inc, sc in next 2 sts) 3 times {12 sts}

Do a seamless join on an open piece:

Cut the working yarn, leaving a tail. Pull the yarn through the last stitch (do not fasten off).

Thread the remaining yarn into a yarn needle and insert the needle under both loops of the stitch to the left of the last stitch – from outside to inside.

Move back to the stitch to the right (the last crocheted stitch). Insert the needle through the middle of the V from outside to inside.

Faux stitch created for a seamless look.

Insert a 18mm safety nose in the center of the muzzle and secure the nose.

Set aside until assembly.

ASSEMBLY

I recommend pinning the parts before assembly.

Attach the ears between R3 and R4 and R9 and R10, one on each side of the head.

Attach the body between R18 and R19 of the head.

Attach the arms between R15 and R16 of the body, one on each side.

Attach the bandana by using the long tail and sewing it to the corner piece of the opposite side of the bandana. Make a knot and cut off the excess yarn.

Weave in all the excess pieces of yarn into the body.

Please be aware that amigurumi contains small pieces and can be dangerous to children.
