Materials Needed for Dotty Dog Amigurumi Pattern

Assembly Instructions

• Stuff the body firmly at round 41 before transitioning to the head section, ensuring proper shape for both sections.
• Attach the snout to the head approximately 8 rounds away from the top, stuffing it before sewing securely in place.
• Position the black dot to the left above the snout, then layer the small left eye on top with pupil at bottom, and place large right eye directly beside it with pupil at bottom.
• Sew the nose in the middle of the snout with one corner pointing down, wrap the yarn twice where semicircles meet, then knot whiskers three times on each side.
• Attach the tongue to the bottom snout piece, ensuring purple yarn doesn't show through, then sew bottom piece under upper snout, fixing edges for about 1.5cm on each side.
• Position ears on top of the head starting 8 rounds from center with peaks facing down, then fold corners and secure with stitches for natural floppy shape.
• Create three toes on each paw by stitching white yarn through twice as shown, attach front legs fully or just at top, position back legs on sides, and fix back paws over front paws so Dotty sits properly.

Important Notes

• 💡Gauge is important: 26 stitches x 24 rows = 10cm x 10cm (4x4 inches) using fine weight yarn
• 💡The body and head are worked as one continuous piece, so count your rounds carefully to avoid having to restart
• 💡Use stitch markers throughout to track beginning of rounds, especially during the long body and head sections
• 💡When working the snout semicircles, pay close attention to the turning and stitch placement as this creates the dimensional shape
• 💡Leave long yarn tails when finishing pieces for easier assembly and whisker creation on the nose
• 💡Distribute the black spots evenly across body, legs, ears, head, and tail before final assembly for balanced appearance
• 💡The snout bottom should be lightly stuffed only at edges with center remaining unstuffed for proper shaping
