Your Lucky Puppy amigurumi is done! If you have some questions concerning the puppy pattern please write them in comments. Have a great time! 🙂
The puppy pattern was supposed to be free, but I cannot copy it or get the PDF for free. What can I do?
Hi Sharon 🙂 You can view the patterns for free on our website and mobile app. PDF version itself is not free. Because it takes a lot of time to prepare the patterns. So, in spite of this fact all people who can’t pay for PDF patterns can view them on the website and make wonderful toys. We don’t hide the instructions. Hope for your understanding 🙂
this puppy is so so cute thankyou 🙂
I am unable to get round 20 of the tail to work as directed. There are previously 15 stitches, you cannot work 7sc, inc. 8 times to come out to 23?????
Hi Michelle, please note that you should repeat only the space in brackets, not the whole line. So, you’re going to crochet 7 st and then make 8 increases = 23 st in total
Hola muy lindo el perrito y muy bien explicado, lo unico que no entiendo porque en las patitas delanteras una termina con 15 y la otra dice 18.
Muchas Gracias.
Andrea
Hi Andrea, this is for symmetry.
Hola Andrea, esto es por simetrÃa.
Hola gracias por la respuesta, lo que tampoco entiendo es la vuelta 12 que dice 5 medios puntos y nada mas . gracias Andrea
What weight of yarn are you supposed to use for this?
4 ply or 5 ply yarn / superfine or fine yarn
The legs are different, why?
Muy bien explicado y hermoso gracias
muito lindo esse trabalho. Amei! obrigada por compartilhar.
Hi, Just wondering what weight of yarn is it for this project? I see you answered someone else’s comment and said it was 4 ply or 5 ply yarn/ superfine or fine yarn but the yarn that you recommended looks to be a DK light, worsted? Confused by the terminology. I was also wondering how much of the recommended yarn this pattern would need. Thank you very much
Hi Alayna, here is a yarn weight chart https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yarn_weight
Hello! If I credit the designer of the pattern, would I be able to sell these at a local craft fair or on etsy with your blessing?

Muchas gracias por compartir este patron, estoy muy contenta por que lo veÃa en imágenes y me parecÃa imposible hacerlo, pero el patrón es tan claro que no se me dificultó el tejerlo, mil gracias 😄😄
Gracias! 🌷
Hi, tks for sharing all these patterns! I have a doubt about this dog pattern, the had was too big, very disproportionate to the rest of the body…. And I did twice… In the second time I used a smaller hook, but didn’t work…. Can you help me, please?
This dog has a really big head as in the picture 🙂
Hello!! Thank you for the pattern. I am new to this, can you help me? If a wanted to make it smaller what can I do ?
Hi Jessica, you can use smaller hook and thinner yarn to make it smaller 🙂
You can leave out the rounds 18-23, just stop in 17 and Start again in 24. This would make the Head smaller.
Obrigada pela receita o cachorrinho é muito lindo!.
Jeanne
Obrigada 🌷💕
Hello, thank you for the parttern. I’m new to this. I asked if you have some videos in youtub for exemple?
How much yarn in meter was used in this pattern?
If I wanted a taller puppy, how would I alter this pattern to make it bigger?
How do I decrease crochet through both layers when finishing the ears on round 25……Please help……thank you
Flatten the edges and crochet through the stitches of two layers like you usually do.
