R4: (1 round) 6sc (6)

Fasten off leaving a long tail for sewing.

Collar:

Use the color you wish.
Work 25ch (this can be different if you use a thicker or thinner yarn). I Recommend you to measure the length of the chain around the dog's neck. Consider 2 ch for the first hdc, so this would be 23 + 2. 

Work 3hdc on each chain around. Leave a long tail for sewing.

Assembly:

Sew the ears on round 24, 3 st apart  from the eyes. Sew the tail to the back of the dog and then to the side of the cat. Sew the collar to the dog's neck. 

Using embroidery floss, make the details o the face. With white, make a small line to the outer side of the eyes and with black, make the nose, the eyelashes line and the eyebrows. 

Use a keychain  ring and a carabiner to turn your cat into a keychain. As an option, you can also attach a small sleigh bell with a metal ring. See photo.

And voilà! Your keychain amigurumi  dog is ready!!!
