Tips

Small details make the finish better.

  • Use a stitch marker every round so the shaping stays accurate.
  • Place the eyes before the final stuffing so the expression is easier to adjust.
  • Stuff lightly at first, then add more until the plush holds shape without stretching the stitches.
  • Keep both ears at the same angle so the puppy looks balanced.
  • A tiny loop at the top can turn the plush into a bag charm or ornament.
