Size of the crocheted Blue Heeler (Australian Cattle Dog) with using required materials is about 9 inches from nose to tail and 8 inches’ height.
Skills required: magic circle (or magic ring), crocheting in spiral, chain, single crochet, increase, invisible decrease, half double crochet, also basic sewing

Required materials:
• Yarn – I used the acrylic fine yarn, for the body I combined gray and black colors and was crocheting in two threads. (or if you will find the wonderful yarn that is already is black and light grey just like Nako Paris # 21304 or #21305 for the body (you will need 1 skein) and Nako Paris #11237) – using this yarn your Cattle Dog will be bigger.
Also some light brown for legs and details. (it has to be the same thickness as two treads together of the yarn for the body), some dark brown and white yarn for embroidering eyes. And light pink for the ears inner part.
• Hook – 1.75 or 2.25 mm or you can take bigger hook if your yarn is thicker (just choose the hook depending on your yarn). For the Nako Paris yarn I used the hook 2.25mm.
