These are the cute little dogs you can get with a little patience and perseverance.
To learn the basics of such needlework, we suggestYou should first check out some step-by-step photos that demonstrate the basics of forming a rubber band dog. You must understand the very essence of such weaving, and then it will not be difficult for you to weave not only a dog, but also any other figure. When an understanding of the weaving process comes, everyone will be able to independently come up with both the working technique and the necessary pattern.
To weave a dog out of rubber bands, you will needa set of colored silicone irises, a hook and a special machine. It looks like a plastic platform on which pegs with recesses are built. This device can be prefabricated or monolithic, depending on the model you purchase. It is worth weaving a dog figurine from rubber bands to use as a keychain or a toy that is put on the handle for decoration, as seen in the photo. We choose the color that we would like to see on the dog and prepare the corresponding elastic bands. You will also need separate dark parts to form the dog's eyes and mouth from rubber bands. We place the machine in such a position that its voids are facing you, and the central pegs are slightly higher than the outer ones. After this, we begin the necessary set of operations to weave a charming dog from rubber bands. We begin needlework by weaving the head of the figurine. We tighten the elastic bands in the upper zone, where the dog’s head should be located.

The result of weaving is a polyhedron,which you see in the photo. The elastic bands are strung in pairs. In the next photo you see new shapes, triangles located horizontally. These are the first fastening operations in order to connect the entire weave together and prevent it from falling apart. The next step will be to form the dog's eyes using black irises. If you have beads or large black beads available, then they will also work perfectly as eyes. The photo shows both options, when the eyes are made of rubber bands and beads.

In any variant, the eyes are transferred behind the posts,in the spaces between them, as in this photo. Ears for the dog must be made separately, using several pairs of beige elastic bands with black parts woven into the ends. We weave the ears, and then carefully transfer and attach them to the head in the right place. The next step is to move down the machine, starting and continuing to form the body of the figure. First we sketch out elastic bands for the neck, then we make shoulders, pulling pairs of irises at an angle.

We start weaving the dog's tail by twisting itblack iris, and continue with beige rubber bands. At this stage you need to weave the legs, lower and upper. Just like the ears, they are made separately, on a hook, and only then connected to the main workpiece on the machine. In addition, the tail is carefully woven. To enhance the handicraft, the entire figurine is secured with triangles made of elastic bands, and at the end it is crocheted. This knitting involves carefully and forcefully transferring all the lower elastic bands to the outgoing columns. The main thing is not to overdo it with the tension of the rubber bands so that they do not break. A loop is made at the top point of the dog's head, which is tightened into a knot. At the end of the work, the finished product must be carefully removed, helping yourself with a hook and your fingers.

And now to consolidate the material youThe following video master class is offered. It clearly shows all the steps and makes clear the technique used to form a dog out of rubber bands. The Husky dog breed is black and white. Therefore, in order to weave an imitation of the breed, we will use exactly these shades. For needlework you will need sixty black, forty white and two blue rubber bands. It is also noted here that the open parts of the columns should be turned towards themselves, and the middle row is located slightly higher than the outer ones. Just like in the step-by-step photos, weaving a dog from rubber bands begins with the formation of the head. Using pairs of black rubber bands, a polygon is made, as shown in the video. It is filled inside with white parts, which will become the white muzzle of the Husky. Below the polygon we stretch a pair of irises for the neck, and move on to the shoulders. We gradually move lower and lower, intertwining the dog’s body.
For the body we made a second polygon,which is slightly larger in size than the first. This polygon is then filled with the elements inside, and the filling is completed by stretching the triangles. At this stage we need to weave the paws. They are made on a hook and consist of two shades, dark and light. We put the finished paws on the columns of the body, limiting it at the top and bottom, left and right. The peculiarity of the paws is that each lower paw is placed on two pegs vertically. Then we will make a small tail and nose for our Husky puppy. We put the finished ponytail on the lowest column of the polygon below. For the nose, we twist one dark part into four, put it on a hook, and then transfer it to a peg, which is located inside the upper polygon. The nose is transferred with the help of auxiliary white irises, onto which it is pulled.

For the eyes you need to take two blue irises and put them onthem onto the white parts, and pull them in the right place. All that remains is to weave the ears, which are formed from two shades, and are attached to the head on the uppermost posts, left and right. At this stage, the most important securing weave is performed, when all the lower irises are grabbed with a hook, pulled back with force, and transferred to the nearby peg to which they belong. This means that this iris came here from one or another column, and we must transfer it to it again. In this way, it’s as if we are making a lock that prevents the figure from unraveling. All that remains is to remove all the loops, and the Husky dog is ready.
