Paula Puppy Reviewed by Katerina Cabello on 2009-10-28 *****
Very easy to make! I used the Amigurumi magic circle for the arms, legs, and tails, instead of the chains, because the stitches were getting really small.

I used 8 mm eyes and leftover yarn (acrylic and 100% cotton). I changed the colors a bit to match the yarn that I had and also had different colors for the ears and the body. I added a fun scarf as well.
