Head, Body and Legs
Working into free loops on every round, cover top of head, legs and chest and upper body as if you were grooming the dog. Leave the jointing areas of body and limbs clear for an easy jointing.
Jointing the dog
Using dental floss or other strong thread, follow the diagram for jointing first the arms and head. Next do the legs jointing.
Using a long needle and dental floss, insert the needle through the body at the arm placement leaving the long ends hanging free exiting on the top of the body. A small stitch will be taken through the base of the head. Insert the needle through the body just slightly away from the previous stitch, exit at the other arm placement, take a small stitch through the arm, insert again the needle through the body, near the previous stitch, exit at the other side of the body, near the first stitch, take a small stitch through the arm. Remove the needle, pull both dental floss ends until you feel the head and arms are firmly attached to the body and knot the ends together securely, pulling arms and head against the body. Thread the ends on the needle and bury in the body stuffing. The jointing of legs and tail is shown on the following diagram:
