🧵 Assembly Guide
Now comes the truly magical part — watching Snoopy take shape as you assemble each piece. Take your time, enjoy the process, and adjust as needed to give him the expression and posture you love.
✦ 1. Attach the Head
-
Center the head carefully on top of the body.
-
The joining point sits around rounds 14–15 of the head.
-
Sew slowly and evenly: body stitch → head stitch → repeat.
-
Bring all yarn tails from the ears and head out toward the back so you can tie them securely before hiding them.
✦ 2. Attach the Legs
Snoopy is designed to sit adorably.
-
Position the legs on the lower sides of the body, around round 3.
-
Keep both legs symmetrical.
-
Sew only the flat closed edge — this creates his sitting posture.
✦ 3. Attach the Arms
Arms should rest gently along the upper body curve.
-
Place them between rounds 6–7.
-
Important: arms should angle slightly forward, not straight downward.
✦ 4. Attach the Ears
His iconic black ears bring so much character!
-
Attach midway down each side of the head.
-
They should naturally touch the mid-arm area.
-
Make sure they hang at the same height.
✦ 5. Attach the Nose
-
Center it right on the enlarged snout area created by the 6 increases in the head.
-
It should sit between the MR area and the early head rounds.
✦ 6. Attach the Tail
-
Place it centered on the back.
-
The tail also helps Snoopy stay balanced when sitting.
🧵 Embroidery Details
These small touches bring Snoopy’s personality to life.
✦ Mouth
-
Use black thread or thin yarn.
-
Find the area between rounds 11–12 of the head.
-
The smile is about 13 stitches wide.
-
Add the vertical center line right in the middle.
✦ Eyes
-
Eyes sit directly above the smile, perfectly aligned.
-
From the mouth line, count 6 rounds upward.
-
Each eye spans 2 vertical stitches.
-
Use wrap-around embroidery until the eye looks solid (about 5 passes).
🌟 Pattern Notes
-
Keep the stuffing firm but not overly packed — Snoopy looks best with a soft, cuddly shape.
-
Using cotton yarn gives a sharper stitch definition, while acrylic gives a softer look.
-
If you use thicker yarn + a bigger hook, you’ll have a much larger Snoopy with the exact same pattern.
💛 Tips & Variations
-
Make the ears slightly stiffer by inserting a tiny bit of felt inside.
-
Add a red collar using a thin yarn or embroidery thread.
-
Create themed Snoopys: Halloween Snoopy, Christmas Snoopy, pastel Snoopy, etc.
-
Use safety eyes if you prefer, but embroidery keeps the classic look.
