🧠 Construction Overview
The dachshund is built around a rigid open oval holder:
• The holder is double-walled for strength
• The tan section forms a decorative outer sleeve
• The dark brown wall is the hidden support
• The dog’s chest and rump are crocheted directly onto the holder rim
Think of the holder as a small reinforced bucket with a dachshund wrapped around it.
