That freaky word up there? That means sunset in German. And here is my german sunset-colored dragon!!!




The pattern was a pattern I tested on Crochetville.org. The pattern designer is actually from Germany, so I thought it would be cool to give the dragon a german name. What do you think?

[Head:]

Here is my weiner dog. I created him without a pattern.


Now there's a pattern! Feel free to make some weiner dogs. Soon, they may take over the world.

Assembly

1)Sew 2 legs onto front of dog, and 2 legs onto back of dog. Use pictures to help with placement.
2) Press ear flat, and sew up the opening. Sew ears on both sides of head, making sure the ‘pointy’ part of the ear is facing towards the dogs’ bottom. The ears should be a little bit tacked down, so they don’t look they are wings on his head.
3) Sew snout to front of puppy’s face, using pictures if needed. *When sewing on snout, every couple of sts, put needle between 2 sts at a time...kind of like decreasing. Then sew on his nose with black or dark brown yarn.
4) Sew tail to puppy’s bottom. The pointy end of the tail should be pointing towards the head.
5) Wrap collar around dog’s neck. Sew ends together.
6) Embroider on eyes, if not using doll eyes.
