sc in each chain around, and sl st in the begin­ning stitch.

Fur Strands

5 inch­es of yarn

Make about 40–50 strands

Glue them under the muz­zle nose in the cen­ter with a glue gun in a cir­cle pat­tern. Then, brush them out with a pet brush to make them fuzzy. Then, sew on the muz­zle nose. 

Glue on the eyes and nose. Make a muz­zle with a dash line under the nose with thread and a nee­dle.
