If this were a real Yorkie, it would weigh around 4-5 lbs, so I'm going to show you
how to make a single topknot, and a double topknot in different size bows. Most
people purchase bows too small for their dog whether for cost or not I have no idea,
but generally a medium to large bow works best on a 4-5 lbs dog. However when
making a double topknot tiny toy bows are best.

Step 1: Start by learning how to brush your dog. Using the slicker brush, part the
hair inch by inch and brushing AWAY from the lay off the coat. Brush against the
grain, until it is completely free of mats and pulls and each hair is properly separated.
Step 2: Brush all the hair on the topknot up, parting the hair in a slight diagonal
from the outside corner of each eye until the hair is standing up.
You can also make a little fan on top by catching some of the hair behind the final
band wrap or by using another latex band. So your finished topknot can be sticking
up or tucked with a little fan top.
