Make sure to use fine stitches, weaving through each corresponding crochet stitch to firmly attach the segments together. Position the front legs at either side of the chest, and the back legs under the bottom. This will give your puppy a canine style seated position when you put him down.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Crochet Labrador Puppy Collar<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>I have given my Labrador puppies collars. To make them you will need to use your purple yarn to begin with.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"alignright\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"225\" height=\"300\" src=\"https:\/\/www.thelabradorsite.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/collar-225x300.jpg\" alt=\"collar\" class=\"wp-image-14428\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.thelabradorsite.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/collar-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/www.thelabradorsite.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/collar.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 225px) 100vw, 225px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<p>Make a chain of twenty one stitches. Starting from the third stitch from the hook, make a single crochet into each stitch. At the end of the row tie off.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To make the collar tag, make a magic circle of four stitches, and put two single crochets into each stitch of the circle. Tie off and sew the tag onto the collar using the loose thread of yarn.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You can then sew the first initial of your Lab&#8217;s name onto the collar to make it even more your own!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Your Personalised Crochet Labrador Puppy<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>When you make your own crochet Lab puppy using the instructions above, you will find that he looks like the yellow Lab pup in the pictures. But I am a big fan of taking an existing pattern and giving it a unique twist. The easiest way to adapt the pattern is to add or remove rows.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Think your Labrador has longer legs? No problem, just add a few rows to the length. Want to give him shorter ears? Then just take a row off the length there instead.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You can also use different coloured yarns to reflect his shade, although I highly recommend staying with the same yarn type. Different types or &#8216;weights&#8217; of yarn give different stitch sizes and finishes to the toy.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"850\" height=\"1275\" src=\"https:\/\/www.thelabradorsite.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/pattern.jpg\" alt=\"Free Crochet Puppy Pattern.
