A4 PDF: materials, every round with a tick box, assembly and face

A free crochet chihuahua pattern for a sweet sitting amigurumi dog in a pink knit sweater with a cream ribbed collar. This chihuahua plushie has a tan coat, very big upright ears with pink insides, big glossy eyes, a tiny light muzzle and rosy cheeks, plus a cream stripe and ribbed cuffs on the sweater. It is about 15 cm (6 in) tall, worked in the round in single crochet with DK yarn and a 2.5 mm hook, with safety eyes, a head sewn onto the body, stuffed ears pressed into spoons and sleeves worked on the front legs. The page gives a row-by-row pattern with stitch counts and an interactive 3D model to check every piece.

  17. Size before assembly: about 7.4 cm at the widest, 5.5 cm long; 19 rounds.
  18. Change to pink (pull it through on the last yarn-over of R8).
  19. Change to cream (pull it through on the last yarn-over of R12).
  20. Change to pink (pull it through on the last yarn-over of R13).
  21. Fasten off leaving a long tail (30–40 cm) for sewing. Stuff firmly just before sewing it on; a little less near the edge, then add a pinch when the seam is nearly done.

  3. Size before assembly: about 6.9 cm at the widest, 1.1 cm long; 2 rounds.
  4. Fasten off leaving a long tail (30–40 cm) for sewing. Do not stuff.

  24. Size before assembly: about 8.3 cm at the widest, 7 cm long; 28 rounds.
  25. → Insert the safety eyes now (positions: see “Face”) and fix the backs. Start stuffing (firmly) and keep adding as you decrease.
  26. Top up the stuffing if needed. Fasten off leaving a 15 cm tail; with the needle weave it through the front loops of all 6 stitches of the last round, pull tight and hide the end inside.

  3. Size before assembly: about 6.2 cm at the widest, 1.1 cm long; 2 rounds.
  4. Fasten off leaving a long tail (30–40 cm) for sewing. Do not stuff.

  5. Size before assembly: an oval about 2.7 × 1.9 cm at the widest, 1.1 cm long; 4 rounds. The piece is oval: the rounds go around the chain, and on the finished toy the chain (the long side of the oval) runs side to side; the starting chain is at the front of the piece (on the finished toy). The round-start marker is in the middle of a long side (the piece's centre line), while R1 starts at a turn: after R1 shift the round start — sc 1 more (not counted in any round) and place the marker there. The increases fall on the turns.
  6. With light: ch 4.
  7. Fasten off leaving a long tail (30–40 cm) for sewing. Insert the safety nose/eyes now, while the piece is open (positions: see “Face”). Stuff lightly just before sewing it on; a little less near the edge, then add a pinch when the seam is nearly done.

  11. Size before assembly: about 5.6 cm at the widest, 4.9 cm long; 15 rounds. Multi-colour rounds are listed stitch by stitch from the round-start marker; keep the round start on the piece's centre front line (as it sits on the finished toy). The order is for right-handed crocheting (right to left on the outside); left-handed: reverse it.
  12. Fasten off leaving a long tail (30–40 cm) for sewing. Stuff it lightly — a thin layer, just enough to hold the walls apart: the ear about 10.8 mm thick, with thick rounded edges. Then shape it into a spoon: push the front wall toward the back wall — a concave spoon about 4.1 mm deep in front, a rounded back; about 56 mm wide. Keep the opening a curve, hollow side forward, not a straight line.<!-- (spoon 35 %) -->

  3. A flat circle about 1.5 cm across; 2 rounds.
  4. Fasten off leaving a long tail (30–40 cm) for sewing. Do not stuff.

  8. Size before assembly: about 1.6 cm at the widest, 4.1 cm long; 11 rounds.
  9. Change to cream (pull it through on the last yarn-over of R4).
  10. Change to pink (pull it through on the last yarn-over of R5).
  11. Fasten off leaving a long tail (30–40 cm) for sewing. Stuff lightly just before sewing it on; a little less near the edge, then add a pinch when the seam is nearly done.

  6. Size before assembly: about 2.4 cm at the widest, 2.1 cm long; 7 rounds.
  7. Fasten off leaving a long tail (30–40 cm) for sewing. Stuff firmly just before sewing it on; a little less near the edge, then add a pinch when the seam is nearly done.

  4. Size before assembly: about 1.2 cm at the widest, 1.7 cm long; 5 rounds.
  5. Fasten off leaving a long tail (30–40 cm) for sewing. Stuff lightly just before sewing it on; a little less near the edge, then add a pinch when the seam is nearly done.

Safety eyes and noses go in before the piece is stuffed and closed (see the pieces above); embroidery is easier before the piece is sewn on.

  • Safety eyes with a printed glint 16 mm (on the head): between rounds 16 and 17, 10 st apart (count along round 16: about 5.2 st each side of the centre front line).
  • Safety nose, oval, 9×6.5 mm (on the muzzle): in round 1, on the centre top line. Colour nose #1c1a1a.
  • Embroidery in nose thread (on the muzzle), straight stitches through: (in round 1, on the centre bottom line ) → (in round 2, on the centre bottom line ).
  • Embroidery in nose thread (on the muzzle) (2, symmetric: the toy's left side is described, the right is its mirror image), straight stitches through: (in round 2, on the centre bottom line ) → (between rounds 2 and 3, 1 st from the centre bottom line, toward the toy's left ) → (in round 2, 2 st from the centre bottom line, toward the toy's left ).
