Cooper the Corgi is a cute little puppy who loves to run and play. He adores spending time with his humans and if you’ll let him, he’ll be ‘running the show’ in no time!

Cooper is an intermediate amigurumi (crochet) pattern written in English using US (American) terminology. The pattern includes detailed instructions in an easy to follow layout but a knowledge of basic crochet stitches and techniques used to make amigurumi is essential.

Your tension, yarn thickness and hook size used will affect the size of your finished item. My Cooper is approx. 15cm tall, 15cm long.

You will need:

  • 3.00mm hook/D-3 (US)
  • 8ply yarns/DK or Light Worsted > 50g CARAMEL, 25g CREAM and a small amount of RED, PINK and BLACK
  • WHITE 4ply yarn or embroidery thread
  • A pair of 9mm safety eyes
  • Scissors
  • Tapestry needle
  • Polyester toy stuffing
  • Stitch marker (optional)

Notes:

  • Amigurumi is usually stitched in the round and a yarn with no stretch is best.
  • When changing colour, pull through the new colour on the stitch before you need it. This will ensure that you have the correct colour yarn on the hook for the upcoming stitch.
  • Generally, the hook you use for amigurumi will be a smaller than for other crochet as you want the stitches tight.
  • Your tension, yarn thickness and hook size used will affect the size of your finished item. My Cooper is approx. 13cm tall, 13cm long.
  • I’ve used Hobbii Friends Cotton 8/6 in the following colours: o CARAMEL = 09 Nougat o CREAM = 03 Oatmilk o RED = 40 Tomato o PINK = 51 Baby Pink o BLACK = 124 Black
  • I have used plastic safety eyes but you may choose to embroider the eyes. Please ensure that there are no loose fittings.
