2. Sew eye patch to the muzzle according to the shape. Make decorative stitches around the eye patch using tapestry needle (the stitches should go beyond the eye patch contour).
3. Sew button eyes to the muzzle according to your taste.
4. Embroider a nose with black floss.
5. Embroider a mouth with brown floss.
6. Pin ears, and if you like the position, sew them on.

Please ignore my question, I was just reading it wrong. Sorry
Head and body -row 19. If I repeat the sc3 then dec 6 times that only leaves 6 stitches not 21 to sc . Am I looking at it wrong?
Muchas gracias por compartir estos patrones tan bonitos
Hi! I’m quite new at crocheting, so the fault might be completely on my part, but I struggle a bit with the legs. I’ve made one already, and I saw that the inside of the “ankle” went kind of straight up, while the outside it was more curved. Is that correct? So when I began making the second, I tried to be smart and sort of reversed the recipe (starting with the end of the round, not with the beginning). Now, the curve seems to still be on the same side and to top it off, the entire foot looks misshaped, haha. Any idea of what I am doing wrong?

Oh. This is very good and all of your patterns so cute and useful. I live in Iran. Can I make this doll and sell them in my country?!
Thank you 🙂 Yes, you can, but no more than 50 toys per month.
Thank you for your free patttern. But it is really frastrating when the toy is almost done there is a mistake in the partten or something is wrong with my math skills. Please help.
Hoodie. Row 11. Ends with 34 st.
Each forepart starts with 6 st each the back is 10 st with 5 st from each side.
So 6st by 2 +10+ 5st by 2 = 32 st . What do i do with 2 extra stitches from row 11?
The ch1 @ beginning of each row is actually a stitch. So when attaching yarn/thread to start forefront the ch1 is the 1st stitch then school 6 times = 7sc to each forefront. So there is no extra stitches.
Thank you for sharing your beautiful teddies they are fabulous I will be making these do cute.
I thank you from the bottom of my heart for your free crochet pattern. From Sandra.
Thank you, Sandra! 😊🌹

Are the crochet terms American or UK?
All patterns are written in US crochet terms 🙂
Is there an error in rnd 19…you only have 7 stiches left, not 21?
Hi Cynthia, there is no mistake in Rnd 19. I will try to explain in other words: Rnd 19: 3 sc, then make dec 6 times, 21 sc [30]
Thank you very much for these free patterns!

Hi There,
How do I save a copy of this pattern?
Hi Hilary 🙂 You can view the patterns for free on our website and mobile app. PDF version itself is not free. Because it takes a lot of time to prepare the patterns. So, in spite of this fact all people who can’t pay for PDF patterns can view them on the website and make wonderful toys. We don’t hide the instructions. Hope for your understanding 🙂
