Pattern Little Dog Amigurumi
Recommendations
You can use any yarn and suitable hook for it.
The size of the toy depends on your yarn, hook size, and knitting density, as well as the method of crocheting.
When crocheting in front loops only (first and second yarn captures from the bottom), the toy will be larger compared to crocheting in both loops (first yarn capture from the top, second from the bottom).
To neatly close the hole, only capture the front loops.
All parts are crocheted in a spiral unless otherwise indicated. Use a marker or contrasting yarn to avoid losing the beginning of the round.
All parts are filled during crocheting unless otherwise stated.
At the end of each round, the total number of stitches or rows is indicated in parentheses.
Wire. I use copper wire with a coating. For safety and insulation, I use fabric adhesive tape. You can also use:
Beading wire, folded multiple times;
Floral wire;
Electrical cables, available at construction stores;
Aluminum wire or galvanized steel wire;
Chenille wire.
If you use uncoated wire, I recommend insulating it.
Color Change Recommendations. The photos show how I change yarn color. You can do it in any way that suits you.
