Materials I used:
You can use any yarn to crochet this dog. To get real fur like look I crocheted with 2 strands of yarn: kid mohair and brushed kind yarn (medium weigh #4). I used colors: black, white, and beige.
• Plastic eyes -12mm or make custom: video how make custom: https://youtu.be/Fg1uW-s77zE
• Nose – 22mm. Plastic safety nose or bake it from polymer: https://youtu.be/00ipIIOW5WI
• Synthetic fiber for stuffing a dog
• Hooks 3.5mm, 2.75mm, 2mm, 1.8mm
• Gel Super Glue (I use Gorilla)
• Dry pastel or eye shadows to pain the dog.
• Wire for ears – 22-24 gauge.
• Wire for front legs – 12 gauge.
• To customize colors, you will need felting needle (you can buy it online or at JoAnn store) and roving wool (online, JoAnn, Hobby Lobby). I needed white color roving wool to make spots on chest and head.
