Assembly:
Sew the head, ensuring the belly is in the middle at the front. Then insert wire through the body for the arms, measure the required length considering bends at the ends, wrap the ends with adhesive plaster. Stuff arms moderately, sew them on.
Attach the muzzle, pin it to the head, stuff moderately for easy shaping, sew on. Next, try on the ears, you can vary their placement, once satisfied, hide wire ends in the head and sew on. Sew on the legs, I used the thread attachment method.
Next, use strong thread to shape the muzzle. For convenience, mark the shaping spots with pins. Secure the thread at point 1, bring the needle out at point 2, make a stitch and return to point 1, repeat if necessary, secure. The following shapings go over the muzzle, secure the thread at point 4, then insert the needle at point 3 and bring it out at point 4, repeat, then from point 4, make a stitch to point 5, repeat; then from point 4 to point 6, repeat, secure and hide the thread.
If necessary, brush the puppy. Sew on the eyes and nose, or you can glue on a plastic nose. Make several stitches above the eyes with a contrasting thread, these will be the eyebrows. Lastly, shape the legs. Define three toes with outer stitches.
Shorts:
Cast on 30 stitches. Start and end each row with an edge stitch. The fabric is reversible, meaning there will be a right and wrong side.

Sew the pant legs from the bottom. For the strap, make a chain of air loops of the desired length, knit 2 rows of sc, make a loop of several air loops on one end suitable for the chosen button, secure and hide the thread, sew the opposite end to the back of the shorts. Sew a button on the front.
