This is something I made for my children when they were little and am now making for my great grandchildren.
To make the ties, wrap the yarn around the long side 20 times, then cut along the bottom. This will make 8 inch ties. Repeat for the rest of the ties. You will need approximately 135-150 ties.
I forget to time myself when I make a craft, but would estimate that it will take about 3 hours to complete this project.

Has anyone made these and done a video? I'm a visual learner. I had one of these as a child and always wanted to learn to make one. My step mom took this from me when i was visiting my dad and never gave it back (along with other toys and new clothes my mom bought for me).
This is not a video, but it has a lot of pictures with the instructions. www.thriftyfun.com/

Trying to find the old pattern for making a wireless yarn dog can be daunting. This page contains a few leads you can try.
This is a cute project you can make without knitting or crocheting with the right pattern and yarn. This is a page about making a shaggy dog out of yarn.
How do you make yarn dogs and cats on coat hangers from back in the 60s?
Do a search for it. I posted the pattern in detail a few years ago. In fact as I post this there is a link to it on the right side of this page under "Related Guides.
Editor's Note: Here is the link to Harlean's project.

I need instructions on how to make the wire form for the coat hanger dog. The horse and cat are really cute, too.

I have never seen the horse and cat one. Could someone send me a picture, would love the patterns for them but without the wire because they would be for children. Thank you
