My crochet Pekingese pattern is designed to show off the fluffy charm of this historically regal dog breed. It took a while for me to settle on a way to simulate their long coat whilst keeping the amigurumi Pekingese practical to crochet, but I’m pretty happy with the result. Big eyes and a snubbed muzzle complete the look.

To create your own amigurumi Pekingese dog you’ll need:

4mm crochet hook
16mm safety eyes
2oz/50g Yellow DK yarn
1oz/25g Brown DK yarn
Toy safe stuffing
Yarn/tapestry needle
Scissors/yarn cutter

The yarns I used were Paintbox Simply DK, but any acrylic based DK weight yarn should give a very similar effect. Remember if you choose to swap out for a different yarn thickness, you will also need to change hook size.
