This pattern is to make a cute chihuahua! There are two types of bodies you can make, and the legs you will make depend on the body you decide to make. There is a “sitting” body and a “standing” body. Please see the photos in the pattern to decide which body you want to make.
For colors, “Main Color” refers to the color you want the chihuahua to be. You can incorporate color changes if you desire, but this pattern is to make one full colored chihuahua with no color changes.
We start by making the nose, which leads into the head. Then, we make the ears and assemble the face. We then create the body, arms, legs, and tail. After we assemble the body and sew the head on, we create the collar. Then we are done!
