Real dogs don't make good gifts, but this cute little pup certainly does!
Poklon is worked seamlessly from the tip of the tail to the end of the nose. Each back leg is worked separately from stitches that grow out of the body before the body continues.
The front legs and ears are picked up from the completed body and head. A variety of simple shaping techniques are used to sculpt joints and create her lively expression, including pleats and short rows.
