Amigurumi Yorkie Tutorial Pattern

Amigurumi Yorkie Tutorial Pattern
Novice Sandy on Knitting Paradise found this absolutely adorable pattern for an
Amigurumi Yorkie. The only problem is the pattern is incomprehensible. I think it was originally written in Japanese and the translation is really
bad. Fortunately, I have crocheted some amigurumi patterns using the Japanese chart method so I get what’s going on here, so here is my
translation. I did have to change a few things here and there, but I think it’s pretty true to the original pattern.

Sew front legs to body.
I tacked the legs down mid way to help the dog stand upright
and then the head to the body. Sew the hind legs onto the body
Sew the tail onto the body Sew on the ears with the fold to the back.
Weave in yarn ends.
Now start to attach embroidery floss and shimmer yarn. I used full
strands. If you want to anchor the hair so it won’t fall out, here is a
good tutorial on how to do doll hair.
I’ve had some questions about how to sew on the fur that is pulled
up between the ears, so I’m adding this to help with this question.
Attach yarn at the bottom of the snout for the hair that is pulled up
between the ears.
It helps to have a picture of a Yorkie. Here is a good photo or you

can use the photo on the original pattern.
Embroider the nose.

Once you have enough yarn attached, pull it up between the ears and use some attached yarn by the ears to tie the yarn up.
Trim floss to make it even
Sew some yarn at the base of the snout and pull it back between the ears and then tie it
back. You can also use ribbon. Then sew on the buttons for the eyes.
Here’s how it looks from the back. The black fur is the black shimmer yarn.
