Fasten off the yarn, leaving a tail. Stuff the toy firmly through the small opening. Insert 8mm safety eyes and a safety nose between the muzzle area. Sew the bottom opening closed.

Ears (Make 2)

The ears are joined directly to the head. Find a symmetrical spot on the side of the head and join your yarn:

1. Chain 4.
2. Working back along the chain: 3 dc in the first stitch from the hook.
3. 2 hdc in the next stitch.
4. 1 sc in the next stitch.
5. Sl st into the base of the ear or into a neighboring stitch on the head to secure.

Fasten off and weave in all ends. Your Candy Puppy is ready!
