Ring Clamps Instructions

Ring clamp N1

– Cast on 10 ch with a coffee-colored thread (The number of loops depends on the thickness of the ring and the yarn, therefore, having knitted 3-4 rows, you need to try on the clamp on the ring. It should sit very tightly!)

– Turn the work and starting from the 2nd loop, knit 9 sc

– 1LL and knit back 9sc

Continue to knit to the length you need. I have 32 rows. Fasten and cut the thread, leaving the end for sewing.

Ring clamp N2

– Dial 10 ch with a coffee-colored thread (The number of loops depends on the thickness of the ring and the yarn, therefore, having knitted 3-4 rows, you need to try on the clamp on the ring. It should sit very tightly!)

– Turn the work and starting from the 2nd loop, knit 9 sc

– LL and knit back 9sc

Continue to knit 8 rows. Fasten and cut the thread, leaving the end for sewing.

Collar Instructions

2. Turn the work and starting with 3 loops, knit 2 sc in each loop (30)
3. Turn the work and, starting from the first loop, knit 3dc in each loop (90)
4. Turn the work and starting from the first loop, knit 90dc (90).
5. Leave the end of the thread for sewing

Assembly Instructions

Sew the muzzle, filling it with holofiber, to the head between rows 8 and 2 from the middle. Fold the ears at the base and even in half, sew to the head on the sides between rows 2 and 5 from the middle. Using black thread, embroider the eyes and nostrils. Embroider a spot on the forehead with a milky thread.

Mane Instructions

Cut off dark brown threads 8 cm long in the amount of 30 pieces. Using a crochet hook, fasten 2 threads along the course of the mane from the crown of the head to the back of the head. At the top of the head, you can cut the length a little and fluff it up. Then sew the clamps to the ringlet and turn the seam inside the ringlet. Sew the head to clamp N1. Using pins, mark the middle of the clamp and secure the head so that it is in the center. Further, passing several times in a circle, firmly sew the head to the clamp so that it does not dangle.
