2 row: we unfold the knitting, do 3 lifting loops (3CH), we knit DC in the same SC, in each of the remaining 5 SC we knit 2 DC (12 DC)
we tie the part along the entire perimeter of SC.
Fold in half, knit 4 SC.
TAIL (we do as desired) cut 3 strings of the main yarn (15-20 cm), put them together, fasten to the butt with a hook, and braid a short pigtail (2-3 cm), make a knot, and cut the threads, leaving a small brush .
SKIRT AND BOW. ASSEMBLY,
SKIRT.
We knit a chain of CH (to tightly wrap around the tummy, everyone will have a different number of loops)
We connect the chain, knit in a circle.
1 row: 3 lifting loops (CH), DC into the same loop, then we knit 2 DC into each loop, SL-ST
2 row: 3 lifting loops, 1 DC in each DC, sl-st.
BOW:
In the amigurumi ring: 3 CH, 4 DC, 3 CH, sl-st, 3 CH, 4 DC, 3 CH, SL-ST.
Cut the thread, leave a small tip, wrap the bow in the center several times, tie a knot in the back.
All is ready!!! Now you can stitch the details.
I stitched in this sequence:
HEAD + BODY + HANDLES + Muzzle + EARS.
Then she sewed her eyes and designed her eyebrows with cilia.
That’s all!!! I wish you all pleasant knitting and even loops. Waiting for your work.
