— Tips :
Info :
This pattern is for making a single dog amigurumi, but you can make a reversible one by joining it with another dog amigurumi. Read the instruction for joining the reversible amigurumi.
Info :
Try working tight stitches. Use a smaller crochet hook for better result.
Infos :
Do not work too tight, so the plushie is still stretchable. Work every part using the same stitch tension.
Info :
Count your stitches and use a stitch marker or a piece of yarn to mark beginning/ending of the round.
Info :
Each round is worked in a continuous spiral. Do not join rounds with slip stitch or turn unless stated otherwise. Crochet through both loops unless stated otherwise.
— Material :
Info :
2.0 mm hook or size suitable for yarn used. Tapestry needle, embroidery needle. Fiberfill for stuffing. Yarn in the same size (I used 4 ply, cotton blend yarn) in the following colors: brown, white, peach, black, yellow, red. Scissors.
— Dimension :
Info :
The size will vary, depending on the yarn used. If you use the same materials as me, the finished amigurumi is about 6 cm (2.4") tall.
— Special Stitches :
Invisible Finish :
After completing the last st, cut the yarn and pull on the loop to draw the tail. Using the tapestry needle, skip the next st, and insert the needle from front to back, under both loops. Go back to the last st, and insert the needle through the back loop of this st. Pull on the tail.
Crochet Surface Slip Stitches :
Insert hook into crocheted fabric from the front to the back. Keeping the yarn at the back, pull up a loop. Insert hook in the next spot specified, from front to back. And pull up a loop through the fabric and through the loop on the hook. Repeat as instructed to make the surface chain.
Bobble stitches :
In this pattern, a bobble stitch is made by working 3 incomplete double crochet st in the same st, and joining them together at the top. 1. Yarn over and pull through (three loops on the hook), yarn over and pull through 2 of the loops. 2. Repeat the first step 2 more times so you have 4 loops on the hook. 3. Yarn over and pull through all 4 loops to close your bobble stitch. 4. Make a sl st at the next st.
Sewing/Joining Flat Pieces :
Starting on the first piece, insert your needle under a crocheted stitch, from back to front to back. On the corresponding stitch on the second piece, insert the needle from front to back to front under the stitch, horizontally.
— Head and Body (Beagle) :
Info :
Start with brown yarn. Leave a long starting yarn tail, approximately 10 cm (4"). This tail will be used to join 2 dogs to make a reversible amigurumi.
