Getting Started

To begin, you'll need to know the basic stitches used in this pattern: double crochet (dc), increase (inc), and decrease (dec). Don't worry if you're new to crochet - we've got you covered! With a few simple steps, you'll be well on your way to creating Bluey's snout.

Step 1: Creating the Snout

Start by continuing around the base of the snout, working in second stitches. In Row 3, dc in C4, then work two double crochets in black yarn before moving back and forth down the row. Sew any remaining stitches together to close, leaving a small opening for stuffing.

Adding Details

For an added touch, you can stitch or crochet around Bluey's belly to give him a more defined shape. This will also help create a sense of depth and dimension in your finished toy.

Step 2: Creating the Body

To form Bluey's body, start by making a disc using Row 29-31 (19dc in C2, 12dc in C3, 19dc in C2). Stuff the body with polyfill before closing it up. You can use markers to keep track of your stitches as you work around the circle.

Step 3: Closing the Body

Once your body is stuffed and closed, you'll be ready to start working on the head and ears. Remember to change colours as noted in the pattern, using the designated colour codes (C1, C2, etc.).
