Instructions
You can find the stitch tutorials below. The stranded embroidery thread can be split up. Use 3 strands for the large
version, 2 strands for the medium and 1 strand for the small version if not stated otherwise.Embroider each twig one after another.
The pattern template shows the outline of the dog and the heart only. You can fill it with any fur pattern you like. If you want to make the pattern alike to the picture, use brick stitch in brown to fill out the body and tail.
For the heart use satin stitch in pink. Start with the center stitch and then
embroider to each side from there. This makes a neater heart shape than
working from one side to the other.
