Chocolate covered strawberries became poodles!

I created the “Chocolate Bonbon Dog” series by combining two of my favorite dogs and sweets! ‘Chocolate Covered Strawberry Poodles’ is part of it.

This project is perfect for dog lovers, candy lovers and both! It’s easy to make with a small amount of yarn, so it’s perfect as a last-minute gift too. I hope you enjoy making them as much as I enjoyed creating them!

This easy-to-follow pattern is included detailed instructions with lots of step-by-step pictures on how to crochet and assemble to make a cute little strawberry poodle.

In this pattern, you’ll need to know basic crochet stitches and how to work in rounds. The strawberry and chocolate part are made in one piece, and all the other pieces are worked separately and sewn in place. The nose, mouth and “chocolate drizzle” are embroidered with a straight stitch.
