Assembly and Finishing

• Attach the nose to the head like a bottle cap. Pin it carefully to round 40, the second-to-last round of the body, and sew it on. Wrap black yarn around the base of the nose, secure it, and hide the end inside.
• Mark the eye placement with pins between rounds 30 and 31 and make slight indentations by pulling them together with a couple of stitches.
• Glue half beads in place for the eyes or sew on beads.
• Using black yarn, make the eyelids above the eyes and embroider the eyebrows and mouth. Using white yarn, embroider under the eyes.
• Sew on the ears and tail.
• Sew on the front and back legs so the puppy can stand or sit.
• Attach short strands of yarn to the top of the head and brush them out.
• Your puppy is ready!
