Pocket Pup is the perfect companion to accompany you on a long walk. He lives for dog treats and scratches behind the ear. 

Skill Level: Advanced Beginner

This no-sew pattern is written in U.S. crochet terms, complete with clear instructions, pictures, and video tutorial to help you along the way. Pocket Pup is crocheted in the round/continuous spirals without joining the rounds. I suggest using a stitch marker or different color yarn to keep track of each round. Pocket Pup is crocheted in super bulky chenille yarn and is approximately 3 inches tall. Be aware that size may vary depending on the yarn and hook size used. Gauge is not particularly important, just be consistent with the tension you are using. And most importantly, have fun!

Pocket Pup Full Pattern

HEAD/BODY

  • Using color of choice

    Watch the step-by-step video tutorial for R1.

  • Make a slipknot and chain 7
  • R1: sc in the 2nd chain from hook, sc in next 5 ch sts,
  • Working down the other side of the chain
  • sc in next 6 ch sts {12 sts}

    Work in the round by starting R2 in next stitch

  • R2: (inc, sc) 6 times {18 sts}
  • R3: (inc, sc in next 2 sts) 6 times {24 sts}

    The ears are made in R4, instructions for the ears are in brackets. You will join the ear by slip stitching into the last single crochet you made. I like to mark that slip stitch with a stitch marker, it's helpful for R5. We will be working in the round for this pattern, by continuing to crochet into the next stitch. We're only joining the ears for this round. Watch the step-by-step video tutorial for the ears.

  • R4: sc in next 2 sts, [ear 1: ch 7, dc in the 3rd chain from the hook, dc in next 3 chains, hdc in next chain], sl st to last sc to join
  • sc in next 12 sts, [ear 2: ch 7, dc in the third chain from hook, dc in next 3 chains, hdc in next chain], sl st to last sc to join, sc in next 10 sts {24 sts}
  • For R5: make sure the ear is down as you single crochet over top of it. Don't crochet into the marked slip stitches from R4, move to the next stitch. Optional: Mark R5 for eye placement later.
  • R5-7: sc in next 24 sts {24 sts}
  • R8: (inc, sc in next 3 sts) 6 times {30 sts}
  • R9-10: sc in next 30 sts {30 sts}

    For R11, we'll be crocheting small bobbles and bobbles. The bobbles will be worked in the front loop only. If you need a bobble refresher, video links above. Watch the step-by-step video tutorial for R11.

  • R11: sc in next 4 sts, flo bobble, sc in next 3 sts, flo small bobble, sc in next 5 sts, flo small bobble, sc in next 3 sts, flo bobble, sc in next 7 sts, flo bobble, sc in next 3 sts {30 sts}
  • R12: (dec, sc in next 3 sts) 6 times {24 sts}

    Watch the step-by-step video tutorial for the nose and eyes.

  • Place 18mm safety nose and 14mm safety eyes between R5 and R6. I like to place the nose first, centered between the feet, move two stitches over and place an eye. Repeat for the other eye. If you don't have a safety nose, feel free to embroider a triangle shape. Begin to stuff, but don't overstuff as you want the bottom to lay somewhat flat.
  • R13: (dec, sc in next 2 sts) 6 times {18 sts}
  • R14: (dec, sc) 6 times {12 sts}
  • R15: (dec) 6 times {6 sts}
  • Fasten off and leave a long piece of yarn to sew the body shut.
  • Don't forget to fluff out your bobble stitches. A yarn needle works well!
  • Please be aware that amigurumi contains small pieces and can be dangerous to children.
