Pay attention to the number of grams, I like to crochet tightly ???? Durable Soqs Black (approx. 18 gr) Durable Soqs Topaz (approx. 34 gr) Durable Soqs Bleached Sand (approx. 2 gr) Durable Soqs Tomato (approx. 5 g) Rest of white yarn Crochet hook 2.25 mm Filling Safety eyes 11 mm Plastic nose, you could also crochet this Blush and brush for the ears Stitch marker Darning needle Pins Start crocheting German Shepherd Rex Arms, legs and tail In the meantime I have crocheted several dogs. The parts that I often crochet first are the smaller parts. Those parts are just a bit less easy to crochet. With German shepherd Rex I started with the arms, legs and tail.The ears Before I wanted to start on the head I crocheted the ears. That way I can grab them when I attach the eyes for a better view or if the placement of the eyes is correct. The ears are so nice, quite big! With a brush I applied some pink blush to the inside of the ears. I am not really satisfied with the inner ear. These have some ridges, too bad. The head The head is the most important part of crocheting the dog. If the head is a success, the dog is often a success. The head itself was easy to crochet. Only when putting it together I had some trouble with the eyes. Finding the right place was a bit tricky with the eye spots. But the ears were the most difficult. I really pinned the ears several times and put them back in place until I was satisfied. Tip: For a more intense look you can use white yarn to make a border around part of the eye. This way the eye is easier to see and your dog looks a little different :-).The body The body was familiar territory. Crocheting the body is a matter of not paying attention and just going :-). The only drawback was the black yarn, but with a good bright lamp it worked fine.

I don't like this so much, so I chose the standard sitting pose. I also placed the head at an angle to the body for an extra cute look.

This one is in the back of the crochet book. I embroidered the two white lines in the scarf with white yarn. Advertisement And then Rex was ready again. Not perfect, especially not the ears, but still I am very happy. He can go with the rest of the dogs I have already crocheted :-).
