This pattern refers to “Main Color”. This is the main color you will use for your dog. We start by creating the head, which leads into the body and tail. This is crocheted in all one piece. Next, we make the eyes and eyelids if desired. We then create the ears, arms and legs, and collar. Then we’re done!
