Required materials: 

Fluffy yarn. I used Cotton-Grass yarn from Camtex (65% cotton / 35% polyamide, white (205), 220 m, 100 g). Consumption – 1 hank. I have an exact consumption of yarn – 80 grams, but it is better to have a couple of tens of grams per stock, since the density of knitting is different for everyone). This yarn can be replaced with NAKO PARIS (40% premium acrylic, 60% polyamide, 245 m, 100 g) or any other that has a similar composition or thickness, or mohair (a mohair toy will have to be cut to a length of 0.5- 0.7 cm).

Copper wire for the reinforcement of the front paws (of course, otherwise the seals will collapse!) 1.5 mm thick – approximately 0.6 meters. It is easier and cheaper to purchase such wire in the store of electricians in the form of cable VVG 3 * 1.5 Be sure to check that the wire inside is solid, and not woven from a variety of small copper wire strands! Then remove the insulation with a stationery knife.White adhesive plaster on fabric base or electrical tape.

Eyes / beads / semi-beetles for peepholes – 1 pair. Size – 14 mm or others as desired.
Glue “Moment” Crystal / Titan (if you plan to glue the eyes, and not to sew) or threads for sewing eyes in the tone of the main yarn.

A thread for a muzzle (any strong thread in tone of the main yarn. I pull down “Pelican” from Vita because it does not tear, does not tear a cloth, does not slide. Many prefer to use a dental floss or a thick kapron thread.

Splint 2.5 * 28mm – 1 piece, M3 washers – 2 things, a plywood disk or 55 mm cardboard press (or a different size depending on the inside diameter of the neck, see below for the selection of the disk) – 2 things for the cotter pin heads. You can make the head static (attached), then these materials are not required.Spout made of plastic or plastic, in shape closer to the dog (spout can be embroidered).

Materials at will: 
DRY pastels for tinting dark gray or black.
Black gel or capillary pen for tinting the eyes.
For a hat fit any smooth yarn. I used VITA BRILLIANT (45% wool laster, 55% acrylic), 380 m / 100 g turquoise, lilac and yellow. Low consumption.
Black line for mustache.
If the seal does not hang on the Christmas tree, then we need a metal granulate weighting agent – 50 grams.

TOOLS: 

Hook knitting No. 1.75 for knitting a little imprint or depending on the thickness of the selected yarn.
Knitting needles for hat №2 or depending on the thickness of the selected yarn.
Nippers
Scissors.
The tool for tightening cotter pins – pin / thin nose pliers / round nose pliers.
HARD synthetic brush for applying tinting with a straight pile.

LEGEND: 

VP – air loop
UB – 1 SBN in 2 loops of the previous row
Attention! To make the canvas was dense and without holes, the reductions should be done by tying both loops behind the front walls, and not just skipping one loop.
PS – displacement loop – additional RLS to the next loop, and only after it the transfer of the marker.
BUT – trim the thread, fix the tail, hide the sc – the crochet column
PRIB – 2 sc in the previous row loop
PWB-UB – so that when connecting parts between them there is no ugly hole, you need to do the following: pull out another loop from the same place where we just knotted a single crochet, as if we were going to make an increase, but not tying it. Total on the hook is now 2 loops. Then we pull out another loop already from the loop of the previous row of the OTHER part, with which we are going to connect the first part. Total on the hook now 3 loops. Now you need to knit RLS through these 3 loops. It turns out, as if we did both PRE and UB at the same time, but in the end we received just 1 sc.

Attention! In order to avoid injury, we isolate the sharp ends of the wire with adhesive tape, and twist the wire itself into a ring! We take care of your eyes! Attention! The whole toy fits the front of the canvas!

RESULTS OF CHECK DESCRIPTION:
This master class is absolutely alive, toys for it are created quite easily and interestingly. Since no one has yet dressed up the Christmas trees, my assistants made just souvenir linen. In December, when the New Year trees will move to our apartments from balconies or tree nurseries, everyone will be hung up in their spiky green places. Many thanks to all the girls who volunteered to help with checking the description for errors before publishing!

In order to properly choose the size of the disk, we will connect a circle, which will subsequently be the base of the head. Knit in a spiral. The marker is not corrected.

We cut the thread in one foot, fix and hide the tail, in the second – we leave the tail 25 centimeters (this will be the left foot), we do not fix the tail, but slightly pull the loop so that the part does not disband.
Place additional markers on the legs (as additional markers, pins or small sections of contrasting color can be used) in accordance with the figure below.

Tail, smoothly flowing into the body:

Knit in a spiral. The marker goes in the center of the back of the seal, after connecting the hind legs and tail, we correct it independently with the help of PS.

After this, we return to the tail left on the left paw of the thread and connect the loops of the left and right paws, reaching the tail of the tail, with each other. In the total count, these loops do not go and then remain inside the knitting. After that, ADDITIONAL markers can be removed.

9) (1 SBN, ARD, 1 RSN) – by tail, (PRIV-UB, 7 SNS) – on the left foot, (PRIV-UB, 7 SBN) – on the right foot, (PRIV-UB, ARR, 1 SBN ) – by tail (24). From this point on, do not forget to correct the marker in the center of the back yourself!

If the seal is planned to be playing, and not to a Christmas tree, we sew a pad made of dense fabric filled with metal / glass granules. This will add to our imprint weight and stability, so that the head does not outweigh the tail. We take a piece of fabric measuring about 4 * 8 cm, fold in half, sew, leave on one side a hole for filling with granulate. We pour about 100 grams of granulate into the bag, sew up the remaining hole. The bag is put in the tail part of the seal. To prevent the bag from being felt inside the carcass, fill it with filler around it. Next, fill the torso with filler.

45) (5 sc, ub, 5 sc) * 6 (66)
46) 66 sc (66). For pin fastening of the head at the end of the 46 row, in place of the main marker, also install an additional marker, which will mark the exit point of the pin.

Mark a point on the central marker between 39 and 38 rows, retreat from it to the left and the right by 26 loops, mark with additional markers. Mark a point between 33 and 32 rows on the central marker, retreat from it to the left and the right by 24 loops, mark with additional markers.

Enter a piece of wire measuring 60 centimeters to the point marked ext. marker (the one that is closer to the tail), and output in a symmetric point. There should be equal wire tips on the left and right. To prevent the frame from escaping, fix on both sides with a pair of turns of adhesive tape around the wire.

Then fold it, repeating the inner perimeter of the front paws, and enter the ends of the frame into the points marked with additional markers closer to the head of the imprint.

Next, you need to twist with each other the remaining ends of the frame. It is important not to drag over the body of the seal! Insulate them with adhesive plaster. Cut the sharp non-insulated tip (if left) and twist it in the direction of the tail inside the torso.

Sew front legs around the frame. For pin fastening of the head at the end of the 46 row, in place of the main marker, also install an additional marker, which will mark the exit point of the pin.

47) (9 SBN, UB) * 6 (60)

50) 54 SBN (54)

To mount the head, choose a suitable disk for the size, following the instructions given above, in my case, a disk with a diameter of 55 mm was perfect, then we take a 2.5 * 28 mm cotter pin, put an M3 washer on it, then select the selected disk, put the design inside body so that the pin pin looked inside the body, and the sharp part came out of the neck out through a loop marked with an additional marker.

View from above:
We continue to knit, gradually donabivaya carcass. To prevent the pin from running inside the body of the seal, the tip of the pin can be temporarily limited to adhesive tape.

10-21 is 12 rows 🙂 60 sc (60). Put the head on the neck, stretching the pin sticking out of the body through the 1st row of the neck, if the hole is too narrow, you can widen it with a wide needle, put a 55 mm disk on the pin, then put the washer on the pin and firmly twist the pin pinch.Mark with an additional marker the 14th and 20th rows – these are the boundaries of the sewing face. In the 20th row, mark the middle, and from this point to the right and left count by 6 loops, these will be points A1 and A2.

5) 36 SNS (36)
6) 25 SNs, a subtraction of four loops, 7 SNS (33). BUT
Sew a snout to the head, placing it according to the picture below, so that a decrease of 4 loops of the 6th row of the snout would look down, filling it with a sintepukh during the sewing process.

Registration.
Let’s make some simple  which will make a muzzle
