An esasy-to-follow crochet pattern written in English, using UK crochet terms to make this adorable chunky bodied dog.

The pattern uses basic stitches: dc, ss, inc, dec and magic rings and colour changing. A brief reminder of how each of these is worked is included in the pattern.

The pattern uses a 2.5mm hook and DK cotton yarn throughout. The finished dog is approximately 23cm or 9 inches tall.

You will also need:
Toy stuffing, a darning needle, stitch markers, scissors and 6mm safety eyes.

I used 2 x Sirdar Happy Cotton in shade 759, Pebble, and 1 in 774, Stomp. Rico Ricorumi yarn is a great alternative choice.
