MAGIC CIRCLE:
When piece is worked in the round, start with this technique to avoid holes in the middle (instead of ch-ring): Hold the yarn end and wind the yarn one time around the index finger to make a loop. Hold the loop with left thumb and middle finger, place the thread over left index finger. Insert hook through the loop, make a YO and pull thread through loop, work 1 ch, then work dc around the loop. When the desired no of dc have been reached, pull the yarn end to tighten the loop. Fasten the yarn end at the back.

ROUNDS WITH DC:
Beg every dc round with 1 ch, finish with 1 sl st in 1st dc.

INCREASE TIP:
Inc 1 dc by working 2 dc in next dc.

DC-ROW:
Beg every dc-row with 1 ch (not counted as 1st dc), 1 dc in every dc the entire row, turn.

DECREASE TIP:
Dec 1 dc by working 2 dc tog as follows: * Insert hook in next dc, get thread *, repeat from *-* one more time, make a YO and pull thread through all 3 sts on hook.

WORK IN THE ROUND IN A CIRCLE:
After last dc on the round, continue to next round with 1 dc in next dc (= first dc from previous round). NOTE: Insert a marker at the beg of round between last dc and first dc on the round, move the marker upwards when working.
--------------------------------------------------------

DOG SLIPPERS:
Worked first in the round and then back and forth. Start by making a MAGIC CIRCLE - read explanation above - at the edge of toe with light grey on hook size 4.5 mm.
ROUND 1: Work 7-7-7-8-8 dc in the magic circle, finish with 1 sl st in 1st dc. Then work ROUNDS WITH DC - read explanation above.
ROUND 2: Inc 1 dc in every dc - READ INCREASE TIP = 14-14-14-16-16 dc.
ROUND 3: Work 1 dc in every dc - AT THE SAME TIME inc 4-6-8-8-8 sts evenly on round = 18-20-22-24-24 dc.
ROUND 4: Work 1 dc in every dc.
ROUND 5: Work 1 dc in every dc - AT THE SAME TIME inc 8 sts evenly on round = 26-28-30-32-32 dc.
ROUND 6: Work 1 dc in every dc.
ROUND 7: Work 1 dc in every dc - AT THE SAME TIME inc 4 sts evenly on round = 30-32-34-36-36 dc.
Then work 1 dc in every dc until piece measures approx. 7½-8½-9-10-11 cm. When the last dc on round has been worked, do not work sl st in 1st dc but continue with 1 dc in each of the next 10-10-11-12-12 dc (= 1st row from RS), turn piece and work 1 dc in each of the next 20-20-22-24-24 dc from WS (= 10-12-12-12-12 dc remain mid front of slipper, now beg of round from earlier is under the sole). Then work DC-ROW - read explanation above - back and forth with 20-20-22-24-24 dc on every row. When piece measures approx. 14½-16½-17½-19½-21½ cm, work next row from RS as follows:
ROW 1: Work 6-6-7-8-8 dc, dec 2 dc over the next 4 dc - READ DECREASE TIP = 8-8-9-10-10 dc, turn (10-10-11-12-12 dc remain on other side of row).
ROW 2: Dec 2 dc over the first 4 dc, 1 dc in every dc the entire row = 6-6-7-8-8 dc, turn.
ROW 3: Work 2-2-3-4-4 dc, dec 2 dc over the last 4 dc = 4-4-5-6-6 dc.
ROW 4: Dec 1-1-1-2-2 dc over the first 2-2-2-4-4 dc, 1 dc in every dc the entire row = 3-3-4-4-4 dc, cut and fasten the thread.
Work over the remaining 10-10-11-12-12 dc on the other side as follows:
ROW 1: Dec 2 dc over the first 4 dc, 1 dc in every dc the entire row = 8-8-9-10-10 dc, turn.
ROW 2: Work 4-4-5-6-6 dc, dec 2 dc over the last 4 dc = 6-6-7-8-8 dc, turn.
ROW 3: Dec 2 dc over the first 4 dc, 1 dc in every dc the entire row = 4-4-5-6-6 dc.
ROW 4: Dec 1-1-1-2-2 dc over the last 2-2-2-4-4 dc = 3-3-4-4-4 dc, cut and fasten the thread. Sew seam mid back of slipper.
Start mid back on slipper, crochet from RS one round with dc around the entire opening. Over the rows in the sides work as follows: Work 1 dc in every row along the sides, and 1 dc in every dc at the front of slipper - in 1st corner at the front work as follows: * Insert hook in the last dc from rows, get the thread, pull hook in the 1st dc from front part of slipper, get the thread, make 1 YO and pull thread through all 3 sts on hook *. Repeat from *-* in 2nd corner at the front but reversed. Finish round with 1 sl st in 1st dc. Then work 1 round with dc, cut and fasten the thread.

EAR:
Worked in the round in a circle. Start by making a MAGIC CIRCLE with dark grey on hook size 4.5 mm.
ROUND 1: Work 4 dc in the magic circle - NOTE: Do not work sl st in 1st dc, READ WORK IN THE ROUND IN A CIRCLE!
ROUND 2: Inc 1 dc in every dc = 8 dc.
ROUND 3: * 1 dc in next dc, inc 1 dc in next dc *, repeat from *-* the entire round = 12 dc.
ROUND 4: * 1 dc in each of the next 5 dc, inc 1 dc in next dc *, repeat from *-* one more time = 14 dc.
ROUND 5-6: Work 1 dc in every dc.
ROUND 7: * 1 dc in each of the next 5 dc, dec 1 dc *, repeat from *-* 1 more time = 12 dc.
ROUND 8: Work 1 dc in every dc.
ROUND 9: * 1 dc in next dc, dec 1 dc *, repeat from *-* the rest of the round = 8 dc, cut and fasten the thread. Work another ear the same way.

EYE:
Worked in the round in a circle. Start by making a MAGIC CIRCLE with dark grey on hook size 4.5 mm.
ROUND 1: Work 6 dc in the magic circle.
ROUND 2: Work 2 dc's in every dc = 12 dc, finish with 1 sl st in next dc, cut and fasten the thread.

TONGUE:
Worked back and forth. Work 2 ch with red, 3 dc in 2nd ch from hook, then work 2 dc-rows with 3 dc on every row, cut and fasten the thread.

TAIL:
Work 9 ch with dark grey, then work 1 dc in 2nd ch from hook, * 1 ch, 1 dc in next ch *, repeat from *-*, finish with 1 dc in the last ch, cut and fasten the thread.

ASSEMBLY:
Sew ears to each side of slipper, sew the crochet eye with a cross in white on to slipper, embroider a cross with dark grey for the other eye. Embroider on mouth and nose with black. Sew on the tongue and tail.
