I want to give you some informations about this amigurumi free pattern; Puppy.
Materials You Will Need

Optional Materials
If you would like your puppy to be weighted (this helps in balancing/stability in a sitting position) you will also want the following materials:
– Poly-pellets – approx. 1/2 – 1 cup
– Knee-high nylon (I found a package at Wal-Mart for 50 cents; if you are choosing a light colored yarn for your puppy you may want to also use a light colored nylon for your weight)
– Funnel (a rolled up piece of paper will also do the trick, this helps in filling the nylon with the small poly-pellets)

Magic Circle
A magic circle (also called an adjustable loop) is the most common way to start amigurumi.
1. Leaving about a 4 inch tail wrap the yarn into a circle as in the photos below.
2. Hold the loop by placing your fingers over the part where the working yarn crosses over the tail.
3. Insert your hook into the circle, yarn over, pull through and chain 1.
4. You’re magic circle is complete and ready to begin as pattern instructs (ex: if round says 6 SC you will complete 6 SC around the loop).
5. Pull your tail tight to close.
