Crochet Dog Free Amigurumi Pattern | Group Collage

I’m so excited to share this free dog crochet pattern with you!

After I released my free cat crochet patterns, many of you requested their canine counterparts. I’m happy to say my dog amigurumi pattern is finally here!

I’ve created four variations of this pattern: Daisy the Dog, Cody the Cattle Dog, Henry the Hound, and Lulu the Labrador. While not every dog breed is represented, I did my best to provide options for the majority.

Feel free to mix and match the pattern pieces to best-resemble your pooch.

The pattern variations include four options for different types of dog ears, as well as some options for the color markings on the dogs’ bodies.

I saw someone make an adorable Cocker Spaniel using my Henry the Hound pattern. The only change they had to make was to complete the ears as written using a Loop Stitch. I can’t wait to see what you come up with!

Puppy House by Our Generation

The cute little dog house featured in some of the pictures is called Puppy House by Our Generation. At the time of writing, I believe it can be purchased locally at Target.

If you make your dog with a 3.5mm hook and weight 4 acrylic yarn as directed by the pattern, your dog will be about as tall as the house while sitting, but can still technically fit inside.

If you want your dog to be more to scale with the dog house, I would recommend using a weight 3 yarn and a 2.5mm hook.

Video Tutorials

Making the Tongue

With pink yarn, create a slip knot on your hook, leaving a 6″ yarn tail.

01. ch 4, sc in 2nd ch from hook, sc in next ch, 5sc in final ch. On the other side of the chain base, sc in next 2 ch [11]

02. ch 1, turn, sc 3, *inc* 3 times, sc 3 [14]

03. ch 1, and without turning, sc 4 across the top, flat edge of the tongue [4]

Using a yarn needle, weave the beginning yarn tail into the work, and tie it off with the ending yarn tail. Cut both tails to 1.5″.

Attaching Bottom Lip & Tongue

This video covers how to finish the bottom lip, and the tricky parts of rounds 8 – 10 of the head. Feel free to skip ahead to wherever you need in the video:

0:35 – Finishing the Bottom Lip (how to fasten off and slip stitch closed)

2:27 – Head Round 8: Attaching the Tongue & Bottom Lip

6:50 – Head Round 9: Color Change

9:20 – Head Round 10: Working Across the Color Change

Embroidering the Nose

Start by marking off the 4 corners of the nose centered on the snout with straight pins: 4 stitches between rounds 1 & 2, and 8 stitches between rounds 4 & 5.

Next, cut a 3 foot strand of yarn in the desired color for your nose. Thread one end through a yarn needle. Outline the sides of the nose, leaving a 5 inch yarn tail.

As you embroider, you’ll be passing a strand through each of the 8 holes along the top, 3 times. And each of the 4 holes along the bottom, 6 times.

This step is optional, but once I’ve worked through all the holes, I like to run a strand across the top of the nose to smooth it out.

Exit the needle through the bottom-center of the nose, and secure with a knot.

Now create the line that goes down the middle of the snout. Insert your needle directly above the tongue, in the center. Then exit it out at the bottom-center of the nose.

Adjust this strand to get it centered on the snout, and then pull it tight. Secure with a knot with a knot, centered directly above the back of the tongue. Hide the remaining yarn tail inside the work.

Tacking Down the Ears – Daisy the Dog

Start by cutting a two foot strand of yarn in the same color as your dog’s ears. Thread one end through a yarn needle.

Starting with the left ear, tie a knot 3 rounds up from the bottom and 2 stitches in from the left edge of the ear. Tie a knot, leaving a 5 inch yarn tail.

Now pass the needle under a stitch directly above your knot, 4 rounds down from the top of the ear.

Continue weaving your strand of yarn along those same rounds, alternating between bottom and top.

Stop when you’re a couple stitches away from the right edge of the ear. Tighten down the strands, and the ear will come together, folded over itself.

Once that’s tight, secure with a knot, then hide both the beginning and ending yarn tails inside the work. Repeat this process for the other ear.

Tacking Down the Ears – Lulu the Labrador

Cut a 12” strand of yarn, the same color as your dog. Thread one end through a yarn needle.

Start with the left ear. Tie a knot half way up the right edge of the ear, leaving a 5 inch yarn tail.

Bring the ear forward, so the knot you just tied is 3 rounds back from the eye. Secure the ear to this spot with another knot.

Examine the head from all angles to make sure you’re happy with the placement, then hide the beginning and ending yarn tails inside the work.

Repeat this process for the other ear.
