Frequently asked questions

How is the lying pose made?

The body starts as two small 6-sc tubes (the front legs) that are chained together and worked as one oval — the doll naturally lies flat on its belly.

How are the two-tone ears made?

Work a blue outer ear and pink inner ear along both sides of a ch-9 foundation with taller stitches at the tip, then layer them and edge both together with one round of blue sc.

What is '拆股' (split yarn)?

Plied yarn is separated into thinner strands: the ears use 1 ply and the muzzle and bow use 2 plies, so small parts stay delicate.
