The process of creating a toy
The toy will consist of several parts, which, as knitting progresses, will be connected to each other, gradually taking on the shape of a puppy. The sequence of steps is extremely important. Work begins with the tail and paws. It is also important to understand that for the correct result you will need to follow a certain color scheme - in the given algorithm it has already been built, but in order to fit accurately, you need to knit quite tightly.
We begin to knit a husky dog in parts.
Hind legs
One hind leg can be tied according to the following pattern:
Then all that remains is to prepare the second paw using the same principle and fill both parts with the prepared material.
Front legs
One front paw is made according to the following scheme:
Then you should take the prepared wire. Bend the piece in half to make it wider. The end of the product should be wrapped with a plaster - this way the wire will not pierce the yarn and will not slide inside. Loosely stuff the finished paw so that it can bend. Repeat the same with the second one.
Tail
It's time to make the tail. It is knitted according to the following pattern:
Once the overlays are ready, you can start knitting the body. It is better to do this in two approaches - tie the lower part of the body, sew ready-made parts to it, and then move on to the chest and neck.
