Beginner Tips for Your Golden Retriever Project

Start with the flat lying body first — it’s the simplest section, and lets you get comfortable with basic stitches before moving to the floppy ears and curled tail.
Stuff the body evenly and not too firmly; this keeps the relaxed lying posture intact, so it sits flat and stable on any surface without tipping over.
Stuff the floppy drop ears very lightly as you go, rather than waiting until the end — this keeps them soft and droopy, true to the golden retriever’s iconic silhouette.
Use the included stitch markers for the start of every round — this saves you from losing your place in the pattern, especially when shaping the curled tail.
Weave in your ends after each piece, instead of saving them all for the end — this gives your finished golden retriever a clean, professional look.

Q: Is the yarn and material safe for kids and babies?

A: Yes. All materials are non-toxic, skin-friendly, and meet ASTM F963 US toy safety standards. The safety eyes have a secure snap-on back that won’t come loose with gentle play.
