Knit and felt a Chihuahua, Papillon, Pomeranian, Chinese Crested & King Charles Spaniel. Our simple design is fast, fun & easy! Our 6-page downloadable amigurumi pattern has full color photos, diagrams and detailed instructions.

Finished Size: Approximately 3.5” (8.9cm) tall, depending on yarn used and amount of felting.

Yarn: Use only 100% wool, worsted weight. Do not use a ‘superwash’ wool as this will not felt. Bleached white yarns do not felt and many off-white yarns may not felt well. Test a sample knit swatch of white yarn before using. You’ll need less than 100 yards (91m) of each color per project:

  • Chihuahua: Color A (Gold); Color B (White).
  • Papillon: Color A (White), Color B (Black).
  • Pomeranian: Color A (Gold).
  • Chinese Crested: Color A (Gray-Brown), Color B (White).
  • King Charles Spaniel: Color A (White), Color B (Brown).

Needles: Straight needles, size 10 US (6mm).

Other Supplies:

  • Felt: black (All), pink (Chihuahua, Papillon, Pomeranian, Chinese Crested).
  • Embroidery floss: black (All), white (All), pink (Chihuahua, Papillon, Pomeranian, Chinese Crested).
  • Yarn needle; embroidery needle.
  • Stuffing.
  • Polyester Pellets, Approximately 1oz (28g) per project.
  • Small amount of waste non-wool yarn to temporarily secure seams.

IMPORTANT!

  • For a non-felted project, any worsted-weight yarn can be substituted.
  • For a non-felted project, use size 7 US (4mm) or smaller to create a tight stitch.
