*Note*
If you want to use this dog paw as an appliqué on a crochet project (for example a square), don’t sew behind stitches, just use the tail to sew the parts to the square.
Another method is: using a hot glue gun too!
Instructions:
Central pad
RND 1: Start by making a mr.
RND 2: Ch 3 (doesn’t count as a stitch), do 3 dc inside the mr. Ch 2, then do 3 dc inside the mr (it looks like a granny square but only 3 corners forming a triangle) before ss in the 3rd ch, do 2 ch then ss in the 3rd ch.
RND 3: Ch 3 (doesn’t count as a stitch) *then 3 dc into the space ch 2 and 3 dc into the same space. Then (ch 1 to make a space for separation) * repeat this 2 times (total of 3 double increases).
RND 4: When finishing, ss in the last stitches like 2 or 3 double spaces and go over the 2 ch until you ss to the 3rd ch (note: don’t do the ss tight, otherwise, your hook will get stuck) don’t forget to pull tight the loop of the mr and cut the excess.
RND 5: Now finish with ch 1 and fo. Sew the yarn tail behind stitches and cut off.
Toe pads
Now this part is a *repetitive pattern*
RND 1: Do round1 from the central pad section (page 3), ch 3 (don’t count as a stitch) then 12 dc. Ss into the 3rd ch. Repeat this step 4 times to reach a total of 4 toe pads. Remember to tighten the loop and fo. When finished, sew the tail behind the stitches.
RND 2: Now you have finished the 4 circles, place the circles in this way to the central pad when sewing it on a project or glueing.
NOW YOU HAVE FINISHED YOUR PAW PRINT!
