Toy Assembly

  • I did not do eye sculpting. I crocheted the eye spot freehand, but you can sew on felt, as Tatyana Kostochenkova recommends in her tutorial.
  • I made the ears in different colors: one ear in the body color, and the other in the eye spot color.
  • If you want, you can make a sweater.

This dog is crocheted with Alize Softy and a 2.5 mm hook:
