Hey everybody! So, recently, I have been going through all the stuff in my room because my dad took out the carpets and is putting in hardwood flooring! So, we had to take everything out of our room, and now that hes done with the floor, we’re putting everything back into our room. I found a paper that I had written a pattern for this cute puppy lovey! I had been meaning to post the pattern for a while, but then I couldn’t find the paper. But now that I found the pattern, I’m posting it! I hope you like it!
Materials
- DK yarn. I used the Comfy Cotton Blend in the colors sugarcane for the blanket and whipped cream for the head
- 5 mm crochet hook
- 3.25 mm crochet hook
- Two safety eyes and a nose or black yarn
- Yarn needle
Notes
- This is a crochet amigurumi project. It is for more advanced crocheters, but if you want to, you can try it
- The head is worked in a continuous spiral. The rounds are not joined at the end.
Directions
For the blanket:
Make a granny square! I have a pattern for one here. Use the 5mm hook and the yarn color sugarcane. You can make it as big as you want! Once you finish, change the yarn to the white color, and single crochet in each stitch and chain around. Fasten off and weave in ends.
For the head: (Use cream colored yarn and 3.25 mm hook.)
Round one: In a magic ring, single crochet six. (6)
Round two: Increase in each stitch. (12)
Round three: *Increase in one stitch, single crochet in the next stitch. Repeat from * around. (18)
Round four: *Increase in one stitch, single crochet in the next two stitches. Repeat from * around. (24)
Round five: *Increase in one stitch, single crochet in the next three stitches. Repeat from * around. (30)
Round six through twenty-one: One single crochet in each stitch. (30)
Insert the two safety eyes in between the ninth and tenth rounds about nine stitches apart. Put the nose in between the thirteenth and fourteenth rounds in between the eyes. You can adjust the eyes and nose until you think they look right. Fasten them with the backings. If you don’t have safety eyes and a nose, you can use black yarn to sew eyes and a nose onto the head with a yarn needle.
After you’ve fastened on the safety eyes and nose, or sewed them on, stuff the head. Keep stuffing it every few rounds for the rest of the head.
Round twenty-two: *One single crochet in each of the next eight stitches, decrease. Repeat from * around. (27)
Round twenty-three: *One single crochet in each of the next seven stitches, decrease. Rep from * around. (24)
Round twenty-four: *One single crochet in each of the next six stitches, decrease. Rep from * around. (21)
Round twenty-five: *One single crochet in each of the next five stitches, decrease. Rep from * around. (18)
Round twenty-six: *One single crochet in each of the next four stitches, decrease. Rep from * around. (15)
Round twenty-seven: *One single crochet in each of the next three stitches, decrease. Rep from * around. (12)
Add any last stuffing you might need at this round.
Round twenty-eight: *One single crochet in each of the next two stitches, decrease. Rep from * around. (6)
Fasten off and leave a long tail. Using a yarn needle, weave the tail through the stitches. Pull tight to close.
Ears: (Using cream colored yarn and a 3.25mm hook)
Round one: In a magic ring, single crochet five. (5)
Round two: One single crochet in each stitch. (5)
Round three: Two single crochets in each stitch. (10)
Round four: One single crochet in each stitch.(10)
Round five: *One single crochet in one stitch, increase in the next stitch. Repeat from * around. (15)
Round six: One single crochet in each stitch. (15)
Round seven: *One single crochet in each of the next two stitches, increase in the next stitch. Repeat from * around. (20)
Round eight and nine: One single crochet in each stitch. (20)
Round ten: *One single crochet in each of the next two stitches, decrease. Rep from * around. (15)
Round eleven: One single crochet in each stitch. (15)
Round twelve. *One single crochet in the next stitch, decrease. Rep from * around. (10)
Round thirteen: One single crochet in each stitch. (10)
Round fourteen: Decrease in each stitch. (5)
Round fifteen: One single crochet in each stitch. (5)
Fasten off and leave a long tail.
Assembly:
Using the long end from the ends of the ears, sew the ears to the head. Sew them between about the ninth and tenth rounds. You can switch this to where you think they’ll look good! To sew them on, use a yarn needle and sew them to the head using the long tail. I used a whip stitch, but you can sew them however you want.
Then, using the long tail from when you finished the head, sew it onto the blanket. Same as before, you can sew it however you want. Just make sure it’s secure.
And you’re done! I hope you liked this pattern. Please tell me if there is anything that I can do to improve my posts. Feedback is always appreciated! Have a great day! Bye.
