Abbreviations:

• sc: single crochet
• inc: increase
• DEC: decrease
• x: repeat
• BLO: Back Loop only
• FLO: Front Loop only
• DC: Double crochet

Materials:

• 1 skein of Red Heart Comfort yarn or 2 skeins of Red Heart Super Saver yarn. For a white puppy, use 1 whole skein of Super Saver yarn (364 yards) for the head, body, arms, face, and eyelids, and a little from the second skein for the feet.
• A little contrasting yarn for the ears, tail, and spots on the legs. Some yarn for the nose.
• Important: If you take cotton yarn, it will be difficult to knit. I recommend acrylic yarn for easier work, especially with decreases.
• Hook: 4.25mm
• Needle
• Scissors
• Eyes: You can use buttons, felt, embroidery, or safety eyes (20mm). You can make the eyes larger if you prefer.
• Filler (fiberfill or similar stuffing material)

Note: Position the eyes as you wish. For a white puppy, I attached them between rows 15 and 16, for a gray dog, between rows 16 and 17. The distance between the eyes is 9 loops (counted by "holes").
