Materials and tools:

The list below is a reference to show you what I have used to make this cavalier.
For the head, body, ears and tail
• Moda Vera GELATO - 50% acrylic, 50% cotton; 135m / 50g; Colour TAN
• Moda Vera GELATO - 50% acrylic, 50% cotton; 135m / 50g; Colour CREAM
• A strand of GREY yarn to stitch the nose
For the collar
• Moda Vera GELATO - 50% acrylic, 50% cotton; 135m / 50g; Colour PURPLE
For the eyes
• MILFORD Mercer 40・20g ; Colour BLACK
• MILFORD Mercer 40・20g ; Colour CREAM
• Toy safety eyes (optional)
• 1.00mm hook
• 2.25/2.5mm hook
• Polyester fibrefill
• Yarn needle
• Sewing needle (to sew on eyes)

I recommend using a hook one size smaller than what is specified on the
Tip yarn to create tighter stitches. Tighter stitches will give your toy a clean and
polished look preventing the stuffing from showing through.

Putting Coco together

I like to use a stitch called the “mattress stitch” to attach my amigurumi parts. It does take
a bit of practice to master but the end result speaks for itself! This method allows the
stitch to be “invisible” giving you a very clean finish.

The stitch is worked by pulling the yarn through the vertical posts of the muzzle/body/arm
/leg/tailpiece and then inserting your needle in the stitch of the head/body piece directly
above/underneath the stitch you just worked on the head/body piece. Repeat this stitch
all the way around. Make sure to pull the stitch tight to give it the invisible finish.

Step 1: Attaching the muzzle - no stuffing is required.

Position your muzzle piece so
the top of the muzzle sits 7
rows down from the top of
the head.
Use the mattress stitch to sew
the muzzle into place.
Pull the yarn through the
vertical posts of the muzzle
piece directly above the stitch
you will work on the head
piece.

above the 4th row from the
bottom. Push yarn tail to the

finished.

Step 2: Attaching the forehead patch

When you’re sewing the piece on to the head, work the needle under both the front
and back loops of the patch piece. This way the stitches will be less visible and the
forehead patch will not look stretched. Always pick up the stitches of the head piece
that is directly under the patch piece to keep your stitches invisible too. Push the
yarn tail to the bottom of the head when finished.

Step 3: Sewing the eyes


If you are opting to use crocheted eyes, you can attach them using a sewing needle.
Always work the stitch directly underneath where the eye piece is sitting on.

Position the eyes so there are

Step 4: Sewing the eyebrows
Place the eyebrow (side closed
to the nose) so it sits just above
the eye. Bring all yarn tails to the
bottom of the head at the end to
tie off.
With a yarn needle, hide the tail
hanging in the middle inside the
head piece.

next to it and tie a knot. Hide

Step 7: Attaching the legs

You will start off by closing the opening of the leg pieces using a
yarn needle. Remember NOT TO FASTEN OFF as you will be
using the same yarn tail to sew the legs onto the body.

Hold the leg in place and start
at the back of the leg. Insert
the needle into the body piece
and sew the leg onto the body.
Work your way from the top of
the leg to the bottom of the
leg.
There is no right or wrong way
to attach the leg piece. Try to
keep it fairly straight so the
cavalier will sit upright with no
support.
When you’re finished, pull the
yarn though the body piece.
Insert the needle in one of the
stitches and tie a knot. Pull the
yarn though the body to the
other side and cut the
remaining yarn off.

Step 8: Attaching the arms

Start by sewing the opening closed with the yarn

needle. I have found preparing my arm piece this
way makes it easier to work the mattress stitch.

Position the arm so the top of
the arm is 2-3 rows down from
where the head is attached. Sew
your arm at a slight angle.
Lift the arm. Sew the underside
of the arm using the mattress
stitch. Remember to work the
vertical post of the arm piece.
Insert the needle from the
base of the arm. Pull the yarn
through as shown above. You
will use this yarn tail to fix the
arm to the body.

Step 7: Sewing the patches onto the back

You will be sewing the patches in 2 sections. The larger patch

will be placed at the top and the smaller one at the bottom.
Using the same technique as when you attached the forehead
patch, work the needle under both the front and back loops of
the patch piece. This way the stitches will be less visible and the
forehead patch will not look stretched.




 Always pick up the stitches of
the back piece that is directly
under the patch piece to keep
your stitches invisible.

Step 8: Attaching the tail

Using the mattress stitch, sew the tail

on to the body. You can skip a stitch
or two of the tail when you’re sewing
it on. Just make sure you pull the
stitches tight to keep it invisible.

Final step: Giving Coco her collar!


Using the yarn tails, sew the two

ends together. Tie a double knot
and hide the yarn tails in the body
piece.
