How about making a cute amigurumi dog toy? Isn’t that a great idea? If you make the amigurumi puppy in a single color using a different yarn, it will look simpler, but the designer preferred to use a multicolored yarn. We see that plastic is used for the nose and eyes of the toy. Among the materials suggested for making the toy, it is not specified what size the nose and eyes will be. You can determine these proportions according to your own wishes. Also, the recommended crochet hook size when making an amigurumi toy is 5.5mm. If you are ready to make a dog amigurumi toy, let’s crochet it together step by step.
Little Puppy Sebastian Amigurumi Pattern
If the necessary materials are ready, I would like to say that the toy can be made in 4 pieces. It may seem that there is no detailed information on how to make the legs in the amigurumi pattern, but the puppy’s legs are made using the booble stitch technique. We will do this in the 4th round when crocheting the body. This way, you will not need to make extra legs for the little dog!
