Amigurumi Corgi Pattern

Hi! :)
It has been a very long time since I wrote and posted a free pattern on this blog. Today, I will be showing y'all a step-by-step tutorial and pattern for this adorable amigurumi corgi!

Corgis are my favourite breed of dogs. :) Don't they look so cute?
I really wanted to make an amigurumi version of a corgi, so I grabbed my tan and white yarn along with my Clover 3.75mm crochet hook: 
First, I began to make the head:
Head complete!

Next, I made and sewed on a muzzle for the nose and mouth and a white triangle to go on top of the muzzle:

Next, I crocheted the ears and sewed them onto my corgi's head:
Then, I made the body and sewed it on the head:
Finally, I made the limbs and sewed them all onto the corgi's body:
Update: I made a bigger version of my corgi by using thicker yarn and a larger sized crochet hook
