Their lively character is achieved with safety eyes and endearing smiles crocheted from black yarn.

MATERIALS I USED
- 6 mm hook
- Baby Snuggle yarn (white, black, brown)
- Stuffing
- 8 mm eyes
- Yarn needle to weave in the ends
- Stitch marker
- Stuffing
ABBREVIATIONS
- sc – single crochet
- inc – increase
- dec – decrease
- dc – double crochet
- bob – bobble stitch
CAUTION! Depending on your yarn, hook size and/or tension, you may need to add or remove a single crochet before the paw bobbles!
COLOR CHANGES
I apply the color change in the first stitch of the new color (so the color change is only visible in the next stitch) To clean up, I like to poke a yarn needle around the color changes and pull the right color up so it covers any bits of the previous color!
