Watch the step-by-step video tutorial marking the ears.

We’re going to pause and place the ears, eyes and nose. For exact ear placement: mark stitches 5, 6, 13 and 14 with stitch markers.

Watch the step-by-step video tutorial for adding the ears.

Weave one end of the ear tail into a yarn needle and then into the marked stitch (stitch 5).

Weave the other end into the yarn needle and then into the next marked stitch (stitch 6).

Make a double knot on the inside of the head but make sure to leave a bit of yarn hanging down before you make the knot. This helps the ear lay nicely.

Cut off any excess yarn from the knot and repeat for stitch 13 and stitch 14.

Watch the step-by-step video tutorial for safety eyes and nose.

Place 10mm safety eyes between R8 and R9 leaving 5 stitches open between the eyes.

Place 15mm safety nose in the middle, between the eyes. Secure safety eyes and nose.

Feel free to add some pink cheeks under the eyes if you’d like:)

Fasten off and leave a long piece of yarn to sew the body shut.

Weave the tail to the bottom the dog and slowly pull the yarn through.

Watch the step-by-step video tutorial for forming the cup.

Roll and tuck until you reach the ears.

This makes a sturdy base.

Feel free to block the ears, by wetting them a bit and pinning them in place to dry, if you'd like.
