Start putting your pup together.

I like to sew on my nose first. Line up the last stitch made on the nose with the beginning circle from the head. Shape as you go. Separate four ply yarn in 2 plies to sew mouth, eyebrows and toes. Refer to picture of my pup for help putting yours together. Don't forget to blush your cheeks and inside your ears. Next securely sew head to body. I like to tilt mine up a little. Sew on legs, arms and tail. Put collar around pup's neck and sew two ends together. I used a few stitches at top of ears so that they can be pulled down or up. Give him a name, your pup is done.
