This pattern will make a cute round puppy with contrasting snout and ears. He is about 5 inches tall when made in a worsted weight yarn.

The gauge should be tight enough that the stuffing will not show through the stitches. You will need a small amount yarn for the puppy’s body, and an even smaller amount for his snout and ears. Polyester stuffing is necessary to stuff the puppy. I used half inch black button for the puppy’s eyes, and black embroidery floss to make his nose and mouth.
