Talk about cute! This is a versatile pattern that can be used to create a broad range of dog styles from short to long-haired varieties!

The Crochet Puppy Dog Pattern is actually multiple patterns in one! Begin by making the base of the dog (without fur) which alone is a beautiful dog and then, if desired, add additional yarn loops to personalize the look of your dog even more. I’ll give you my tips and tricks for stitching, looping, and trimming to get the look you want. And don’t forget the collar! There’s a pattern included for this too!

The Crochet Puppy Dog is great for gifts, decor, dog lovers, or even made in memoriam of a lost pet.
