Ears (we knit two parts)

1 row: 2 VP, 6 PRS in the second loop.
2 row: we unfold the knitting, do 3 lifting loops (3BP), we knit the CCH in the same RLS, in each of the remaining 5 RLS we knit 2 CCHs (12 CCHs) we
tie the part around the entire RLS.
Fold in half, knit 4 sc.

do not completely fill the part, fold it in half, knit 4 sc.

Tail

(we do it at will)
cut 3 strings of the main yarn (15-20 cm), put them together, fasten to the ass with a hook, and braid a short pigtail (2-3 cm), make a knot, and cut the threads, leaving a small brush.

Skirt

We knit a chain of VP (to tightly grasp the tummy, everyone will have a different number of loops)
We connect the chain, we knit in a circle.
1 row: 3 lifting loops (VP), CCH in the same loop, then we knit 2 CCH in each loop, CC
2 row: 3 lifting loops, 1 CCH in each CCH, ss.

Bow

In the amigurumi ring: 3 VP, 4 CCH, 3 VP, ss, 3 VP, 4 CCH, 3 VP, SS.
Cut the thread, leave a small tip, wrap the bow in the center several times, tie a knot in the back.

All is ready!!! Now you can stitch the details.

I sewed in the following sequence:
HEAD + BODY + HANDLES + Muzzle + EARS.
Then she sewed her eyes and designed her eyebrows with cilia.

That’s all!!!
I wish you all pleasant knitting and even loops.
