– Hook 1.75 mm
– Eyes with a diameter of 5-7 mm on a secure mount or adhesive
– Scissors, needle
– Filler (holofiber or sintepukh)
Head
We knit an oval: we collect a chain of 5 air loops.
We start the first row from the second loop from the hook.
1p: 3 sc, 3 sc in 1 loop, 3 sc, 3 sc in 1 loop (12)
2p: 3 sc, 3 inc, 3 sc, 3 inc (18)
3p: 3 sc, (1 inc, 1 sc) × 3, 3 sb, (1 inc, 1 sb) × 3 (24)
4r: 3 sb, (1 inc, 2 sb) × 3, 3 sb, (1 inc, 2 sb) × 3 (30)
5r: 3 sb, (1 inc, 3 sb) × 3, 3 sb, (1 inc, 3 sb) × 3 (36)
6r: 3 sb, (1 inc, 4 sb) × 3, 3 sb, (1 inc, 4 sc) × 3 (42)
7r: 3 sc, (1 inc, 5 sc) × 3, 3 sc, (1 inc, 5 sc) × 3 (48)
8-23r: (48)
If you have eyes on secure fastening, then they can be inserted in the 19th or 20th row, at your
discretion, at a distance of 6 loops from each other.
24r: 3 sb, (1 dec, 5 sb) × 3, 3 sb, (1 dec, 5 sb) × 3 (42)
25r: 3 sb, (1 dec, 4 sb) × 3, 3 sb, (1 dec, 4 sb) × 3 (36)
You can start stuffing evenly.
26r: 3 sb, (1 dec, 3 sb) × 3, 3 sb, (1 dec, 3 sb) × 3 (30)
27r: (1 dec, 1 sb) × 10 (20)
28r: (1 dec, 1 sbn) × 6, dec (13)
If necessary, we stuff it even to a very dense state.
Muzzle
1p: 2 VP, 6 sb in the second loop from the hook (6)
2p: in each loop (12)
3p: (12)
4p: 3 inc, 2 sb, (1 inc, 2 sb) × 2, inc (18)
5-6r: (18)
Embroider a nose with a pink thread so that its expansion is opposite four increments of 4 rows,
then cut, fasten, hide the thread. We stuff a little when sewing to the head.
Ears (2 parts)
2 parts in blue thread and 2 parts in pink.
All four parts knit in a circle. Increase in each row 6 loops according to the formula of a perfect
circle: x / 2 sc, inc, (x sc, inc) × 5, x / 2 sc (i.e. 1p: 6 sc, 2p: inc in each loop (12), 3p: alternation 1 inc,
1 sbn, and then in each even row 4p: x=2, 6p: x=4 and so on, in odd rows you don’t need to use
the formula, everything is unchanged 5p: alternation 3 sbn, inc, 7p: alternation 5 sbn, etc.)
Knit, inclusive, up to a row in which, as a result of increases, there will be 60 loops.
We don’t hit!
Connect the blue and pink details, wrong sides to each other, to each other with a blue thread.
Paws (2 parts)
With pink thread 1r: 2 VP, 6 sbn in the second loop from the hook (6)
2-3r: (1 sbn, inc) × 3 (9)
With blue thread 4-11r: (9)
We fill quite a bit a little.
12r: put together and knit 4 sbn Fasten the
thread and you can hide it, it will not be useful, because we will knit the paws into the body.
Legs (2 parts) With pink
thread 1p: 2 VP, 6 sbn in the second loop from the hook (6)
2p: (1 sbn, inc) × 3 (9)
3-4p: (9)
Blue thread 5p: (9)
6r: (1 sc, 1 inc) × 4, sc (13)
7-9r: (13)
Body
1r: we take the part of the leg and after its last loop of the 9th row we knit 2 VP, then we take the
second part of the leg and placing the hook in the first loop from the last one knitted in the 9th
row, we knit sb, then we knit the next 12 sb, 2 sb along the previously knitted air chain of the two
loops, the remaining 13 sc (30)
2p: 2 sc, inc, (4 sc, inc) × 5, 2 sc (36)
3-7p: (36)
8p: 2 sc, dec, (4 sc, dec ) × 5, 2 sc (30)
Then you can start stuffing and continue along the knitting, tightly and evenly, shaping.
9-13r: (30)
14r (at this stage we knit the paws): 9 sbn, then take one foot, combine its loops with the loops of
the body and knit together 4 sbn, 11 sbn, take the second foot and in the same way as with the
first , we knit 4 sc, 2 sc
15r: dec to the end of the row
Row 16: Dec to end of row, leaving yarn long enough to sew on head.
Tail
With an even thread, dial a chain of 30 (or at your discretion) VP, and knit it with connecting posts,
leave the length of the thread so that it is enough to fix it on the body.
