Finish off, leaving a long enough tail to sew to body.

*Tip: When sewing to body, spread neck out so it blends into the body, and sew as close to the front of body as possible (so there’s no “lump” below the neck).

Pug’s Front Legs (Make 2, in “Buff”)

Row 1: Ch 2, 6sc in 1^st ch. (6 sts)

Pug’s Snout (with “Coffee”)

Row 2: 2sc in each st around. (12 sts)

Row 3: *sc, 2sc in next st* (18 sts)

Row 4: sc around. (18 sts)

Finish off, leaving long enough tail to sew to face.

*Tip: when sewing to face, I used just a little bit of stuffing so it would protrude a LITTLE bit. Use black embroidery thread to create a nose and mouth.

Pug’s Ears (Make 2, with “Coffee”)

Row 1: Ch 2, 3sc in first ch. (do not join, this is not done in the round)

Row 2: Ch 1, turn, 3 sc across.

Row 3: Ch 1, turn, 2sc in first st, sc in 2^nd, 2sc in last st (5 sts)

Row 4: Ch 1, turn, 5 sc across.

Finish off, leaving tail to sew to head.

Pug’s Eyes (Make 2, with “Coffee”)

Row 1: Ch 2, 6sc in first ch. (6sts)

Row 2: 2sc in each st around. (12 sts)

Finish off, leaving tail to sew to face.

*Tip: After you sew these to the face slightly above the snout, use two different sized buttons or other small round object to trace a circle on the black and white felt. These will be glued on top of the crocheted circles for the eyes. They can be glued or sewn, but I prefer just using Elmer’s glue (it’s very sturdy if left alone until completely dry).

Pug’s Tail (in “Buff”)

Row 1: Ch 13, sc in 2^nd ch from hook and across to end (12 sts)

Row 2: Ch 1, turn, sc across (12 sts)

Row 3: do not ch1, turn, sl st in 1^st st, sc across.

Finish off, fold in half (so that top of last row and beginning chain are touching), stitch to body and stitch folded edges together. Tail should curl by itself.
