Knit in St st for 1.
Next round: K7 sts. Rearrange sts on the needles so that the next
stitch becomes the beginning of round. This allows the paw to
face forward.
Work a paw as done for the front legs.
Stuff the leg with stuffing and pellets through the cast-on end,
but dont stuff the leg all the way up. Instead, fill up to the knee
(the highest bend in the knitting) and leave the top flat. This will
allow the hip to lay flat against the body.
Assembling the ear

Turn the ear to the wrong side. With the BO tail in W, sew the raw
edges together.
Turn the ear right-side out. Pass the cast-on tail from the black
through to the right side, just under the black section. Backstitch
with black down the seam between G and W.
With the BO tail in Black, pass the end through to the RS on the
other side of the ear, just below the first row of black and along
the border between G and W. Backstitch down this side.
Tuck ends in except for W and G cast-on tails. With G cast-on tail,
whipstitch the back of the ear to the head, placing it as shown
Use the CO yarn tail to sew the top of the leg closed, but do not

Work the Tail Chart in rounds, reading from right to left

on each chart row. The increases and decreases are not
mirrored; since the yarn is fuzzy and will be brushed,
you wont notice!
The colors are arranged so that there will be a black
stripe up the underside and a white tuft at the end;
change colors when necessary. Tie the yarns together
on the inside and let the ends hang loose.
As you knit, begin stuffing the tail, adding a little more
stuffing every ten rounds or so, finally stuffing firmly
before closing the end.
After round 26, break yarn and pull the yarn tail through
the remaining stitches; pull tight to BO. Using a yarn
needle, bury the end in the fabric.

Work the Tail Chart in rounds, reading from right to left on each
chart row. The increases and decreases are not mirrored; since the
yarn is fuzzy and will be brushed, you wont notice!
The colors are arranged so that there will be a black stripe up the
underside and a white tuft at the end; change colors when
necessary. Tie the yarns together on the inside and let the ends
hang loose.
As you knit, begin stuffing the tail, adding a little more stuffing
every ten rounds or so, finally stuffing firmly before closing the
end.
After round 48, break yarn and pull the yarn tail through the
remaining stitches; pull tight to BO. Using a yarn needle, bury the
end in the fabric.
