Tighten up the snout (the tightening chain is located inside the head – shown by arrows in

Use a two-stranded Mouline floss to embroider the paws at

once. I make 3 French knots and a heel-stitch slightly lower.

Light-purple.

5. The video about rounds 5 and 6 here. To
make the arm slightly bended down, crochet
the first 3 sc in the stitches of the round 3
(the round below). The remaining 3 sc as
usual. In order not to make the mistake and
avoid extra stitches, count the stitches from
the end (6)

6. inc, 5 sc (7)
7. inc, 6 sc (8)
8. inc, 7 sc (9)
9. inc, 8 sc (10)
10. Fold in halves and crochet through both
sides 5 sc.
Leave a tail to sew to the body, to attach the
pin and cut.

8.
Sew at two point. The arm tightly fits the body.

The pin can be attached to any place (head,

body, leg). Depends on the way you are going
to wear this brooch. The hat pin is the perfect
choice in this case.

9.
Embroider eyes. Add red tone to the cheeks,
dark – to the spots under the paws, ears, tail,
so that they do not fuse with the body.
Decorate with beads or French knots. Your
brooch is ready!
