• Knitting needles - Size 6 (4mm)
• Wool yarn - A medium weight yarn in your preferred color
• Stuffing - Polyester fiberfill or cotton filling
• Yarn needle
• Scissors

Step 1: Casting On

Start by casting on 10 stitches using your knitting needles and the long tail cast-on method. Leave a long tail, approximately twice the length of your finished dog's body.

Step 2: Knitting the Body

Row 1: Knit all stitches.

Row 2: Purl all stitches.

Repeat these two rows until you have the desired length for your dog's body. Remember to keep your tension consistent to ensure an even appearance.

Step 3: Shaping the Head

Next, we will shape the head of our wool dog.

Row 1: Knit 3 stitches, knit two stitches together. Repeat this pattern across the row. (8 stitches)

Row 2: Purl all stitches.

Row 3: Knit 2 stitches, knit two stitches together. Repeat this pattern across the row. (6 stitches)

Row 4: Purl all stitches.

Row 5: Knit 1 stitch, knit two stitches together. Repeat this pattern across the row. (4 stitches)

Row 6: Purl all stitches.

Step 4: Finishing the Head

Thread the tail of the yarn through a yarn needle. Pass the needle through the remaining stitches of the head, remove them from the knitting needle, and pull tight to close the opening. Secure the yarn by weaving it through the fabric.

Step 5: Knitting the Legs and Ears

For the legs and ears, we will knit small rectangles and fold them to create the desired shape.

Legs: Cast on 4 stitches and knit every row until you have the desired length for the legs. Bind off the stitches and repeat for the second leg.

Ears: Cast on 2 stitches and knit every row until you have the desired length for the ears. Bind off the stitches and repeat for the second ear.

Step 6: Assembling the Wool Dog

Now, it's time to bring all the pieces together.

1. Attach the legs to the body by sewing them in place using the yarn needle and the long tail of the legs.

2. Place the ears on the head and sew them securely into position.

Step 7: Stuffing and Finishing

Fill the body cavity with polyester fiberfill or cotton filling to give your wool dog a plush appearance. Adjust the amount of stuffing based on your desired level of firmness.

Once the body is stuffed, sew the opening closed using the yarn needle and the long tail from the body.

Finally, trim any excess yarn and give your new wool dog a gentle fluff. Congratulations, you've completed your wool dog!

Knitting a wool dog is not only a fun and relaxing project but also an opportunity to showcase your creativity. With this step-by-step tutorial, beginners can confidently embark on this adorable knitting journey. So grab your knitting needles, choose your favorite yarn, and introduce your new furry friend to the world!
