Notes

Anaya loves stuffed dogs and she likes white.
So white dog with pink paws and maroon tails and ears.
I am using yarn leftover from other projects.

Very important to count your stitches after each increase round. Even though I am quite comfortable with crochet and rounds, each round is so different, I was making mistakes.

notes

Two changes :
1. I used magic circle instead of starting the rounds in the second chain from the hook.

  1. Used invisible decrease. Pattern did not specify.

The leg instructions for round 9 seems to be off by 1 stitch.
If you sc 14 instead of 13, the stitches add up correctly.
13 + dec (2 stiches) + sc + dec (2 stiches) + sc + dec (2 stiches) + sc + 4 sc = 26. It should add upto 27. So sc 14 in the beginning takes care of that OR sc 5 instead of 4 at the end.

I wish there were more pictures of the toy from different angles so it would help in positioning all the parts together.

The neck of this toy did not last long and my granddaughter found the face scary :(. So removed the face embroidery. Redid the neck and ears with the many excellent suggestions from forum post. The first two pictures are new and improved, last one is the way it was originally.
