Crochet with beige yarn (or your chosen color): 

Row 1: Chain 8, starting from the second chain from the hook, SC in 6 stitches, 3 SC in the last chain, 5 SC, INC (16).

Sew the muzzle to the head, filling it as you go. 

If you have attached safety eyes, sew the muzzle below the eyes. Use the same yarn to create a small indentation on each side for the nostrils. Orient yourself by the beginning and end of the chain. 

After sewing the muzzle, attach the round felt pieces you previously cut. Use black thread to embroider eyelashes, making sure to bring all threads down the head, where the body will be attached. Attach the plastic safety eyes and embroider the mouth with black thread.

22 Row: (8 SC, INC) repeat 3 times (30). 

23 Row: 30 SC.

21 Row-22 Row: 42 SC. 

23 Row: (12 SC, DEC) repeat 3 times (39). 

Adjust the stitches to ensure the front legs are evenly placed on the sides of the body. To do this, work the necessary number of “offset stitches” (I have 3 offset stitches). The marker should be in the middle of the chest, at the front. 

24 Row: 6 SC, 7 SC around one arm, 13 SC, 7 SC around the other arm, 6 SC.

Fill the body. You can close the crochet here (using (2 SC, DEC) repeat 6 times or similar) to help the head attach more securely to the body. 

Crochet the spots however you like. For the first spot: 

First Spot: 

1 Row: Chain 6, starting from the second chain from the hook: 5 SC, 5 chains, starting from the second chain from the hook: 4 SC, 2 SC in the last chain, 3 SC, INC.
