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

Free crochet puppy pattern: a Waving Puppy with a Heart Tag amigurumi, about 15 cm tall in DK yarn with a 2.5 mm hook. A sitting white puppy with floppy brown ears, one brown eye patch and a waving paw wears a red collar with a yellow heart tag. You need about 150 m of yarn: 100 m white, 35 m brown, 5 m red, 5 m yellow and 5 m pink. Plan on roughly 5 hours. It works well as a Valentine gift for a dog lover or a cheerful nursery decoration. You can spin the 3D model and follow the round-by-round pattern.

How to crochet the Waving Puppy with a Heart Tag

Advanced · 15 cm tall · about 5 h · DK yarn · 2.5 mm hook

  1. Crochet the 13 pieces in rounds: Body, Head, Muzzle, Ear ×2, Cheek ×2, Hind paw ×2, Tail, Front paw ×2, Heart tag (125 rounds in all).
  2. Stuff and put it together in 10 steps; each one lights up where it goes on the 3D model.
  3. Add the face: safety eyes by round and stitch, or embroider them for a child under 3.

Every round with its stitch count is in the Pattern tab below, and in the free printable PDF.

  23. Size before assembly: about 8.2 cm at the widest, 6.7 cm long; 27 rounds.
  24. → Start stuffing (firmly) and keep adding as you decrease.
  25. 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.

  32. Size before assembly: about 9.4 cm at the widest, 8.7 cm long; 33 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.
  33. → Insert the safety eyes now (positions: see “Face”) and fix the backs. Start stuffing (firmly) and keep adding as you decrease.
  34. 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.

  6. Size before assembly: about 3.3 cm at the widest, 1.4 cm long; 6 rounds.
  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.

  15. Size before assembly: about 4.9 cm at the widest, 7.2 cm long; 22 rounds.
  16. 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 4.6 mm deep in front, a rounded back; about 49 mm wide. Keep the opening a curve, hollow side forward, not a straight line.<!-- (spoon 45 %) --> Bend ≈ 90° around round 17<!-- the bend spreads over 3 rounds --><!-- drape relax_mm 6 twist 1 -->. The piece is soft and unstuffed: do not tack a fold. Sewn on as the assembly says, it bends over the head by itself and hangs down; the inner side of the bend faces down on the finished toy (on the piece: in round 17, 1.5 st from the centre bottom line, toward the back <!-- st 1.56 back -->). If the ear sticks out, smooth it down along the head by hand.

  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.

  10. Size before assembly: about 4.5 cm at the widest, 2.5 cm long; 10 rounds.
  11. 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.

  7. Size before assembly: about 1.6 cm at the widest, 4.6 cm long; 13 rounds.
  8. Change to brown (pull it through on the last yarn-over of R7).
  9. Fasten off leaving a long tail (30–40 cm) for sewing. Stuff moderately 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 1.6 cm at the widest, 3 cm long; 9 rounds.
  7. 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.

  4. Flat motif — heart (worked in rounds, one layer of fabric), about 3.5 × 3.5 cm; 3 rows.
  5. Fasten off leaving a long tail (~30 cm) for sewing. Do not stuff. Weave in the starting tail, pin the motif out to shape on a soft surface and steam it lightly.

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 13 mm (on the head): in round 17, 9 st apart (count along round 17: about 4.5 st each side of the centre front line).
  • Safety nose, oval, 11×8 mm (on the muzzle): between rounds 1 and 2, on the centre top line . Colour nose #1c1a1a.
  • Embroidery in nose thread (on the muzzle), straight stitches through: (in round 2, on the centre bottom line ) → (in round 3, on the centre bottom line ).
  • Embroidery in nose thread (on the muzzle), straight stitches through: (between rounds 2 and 3, 1.5 st from the centre bottom line, toward the toy's left ) → (in round 3, on the centre bottom line ) → (between rounds 2 and 3, 1.5 st from the centre bottom line, toward the toy's right ).
  • Satin stitch (on the hind paw) (2: one on each hind paw; the left one is described, the right is its mirror): in toe thread, a oval about 5 mm wide and 9 mm tall, horizontal stitches; centred in round 4, 2.5 st from the centre bottom line, toward the toy's left .
  • Satin stitch (on the hind paw) (2: one on each hind paw; the left one is described, the right is its mirror): in toe thread, a oval about 5 mm wide and 9 mm tall, horizontal stitches; centred in round 4, on the centre bottom line.
  • Satin stitch (on the hind paw) (2: one on each hind paw; the left one is described, the right is its mirror): in toe thread, a oval about 5 mm wide and 9 mm tall, horizontal stitches; centred in round 4, 2.5 st from the centre bottom line, toward the toy's right .
  • Strap (on the body) (2, symmetric: the toy's left side is described, the right is its mirror image): with red, ch 21 (≈ 6.1 cm); for a firmer strap sl st back along it. Sew it along (in round 20, 12 st from the centre front line, toward the toy's right ) → (in round 19, 8 st from the centre front line, toward the toy's right ) → (between rounds 18 and 19, 3 st from the centre front line, toward the toy's right ) → (between rounds 18 and 19, on the centre front line ), catching it every 2–3 ch.
