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

This free crochet dog pattern makes a big, squishy cream puppy with floppy brown ears and one brown patch around its eye. The amigurumi puppy sits low and round like a pillow, with its big head sunk into a wide belly, ears hanging down along its head, short plump paws with brown pads, rosy cheeks and a red collar with a gold tag. It is worked in the round in single crochet with bulky yarn and a 6 mm hook, ends up about 30 cm (12 in) tall and 33 cm (13 in) wide, and has 30 mm safety eyes and a safety nose. Follow the row-by-row pattern with stitch counts and turn the interactive 3D model to see where the ears, patch and paws go.

How to crochet the Big Floppy Puppy

Advanced · 30 cm tall · about 12 h · bulky yarn · 6 mm hook

  1. Crochet the 15 pieces in rounds: Body, Head, Muzzle, Ear ×2, Eye patch, Cheek ×2, Collar, Tag, Front leg ×2, Foot ×2, Tail (134 rounds in all).
  2. Stuff and put it together in 11 steps; each one lights up where it goes on the 3D model.

RemixCrochet it

Gauge

1 sc ≈ 7.5 mm wide, 1 round ≈ 6.8 mm tall (10 cm ≈ 13 sc × 15 rounds); yarn about 3.6 mm thick. The gauge sets the size of the toy; crochet tightly so the stuffing does not show.

Worked in

Continuous spiral rounds. Don't join. Move a stitch marker up every round.

  23. Size before assembly: about 25.1 cm at the widest, 14 cm long; 27 rounds.
  24. 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.

  41. Size before assembly: about 26.3 cm at the widest, 20.4 cm long; 44 rounds.
  42. → Insert the safety eyes now (positions: see “Face”) and fix the backs. Start stuffing (firmly) and keep adding as you decrease.
  43. Press the piece flat to about 23.7 cm thick (oval cross-section).<!-- press the piece flat by 10 % --> 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: an oval about 9.4 × 5.6 cm at the widest, 2.9 cm long; 6 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 2 more (not counted in any round) and place the marker there. The increases fall on the turns.
  7. With cream paw: ch 7.
  8. 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.

  14. Size before assembly: about 9.1 cm at the widest, 11.3 cm long; 18 rounds.
  15. 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 20.5 mm thick, with thick rounded edges. Then shape it into a spoon: push the front wall toward the back wall — a concave spoon about 8.6 mm deep in front, a rounded back; about 91 mm wide. Keep the opening a curve, hollow side forward, not a straight line.<!-- (spoon 45 %) --> Bend ≈ 90° around round 16<!-- the bend spreads over 3 rounds --><!-- drape relax_mm 8 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 16, 1.5 st from the centre bottom line, toward the back <!-- st 1.36 back -->). If the ear sticks out, smooth it down along the head by hand.

  6. A flat oval about 9.9 × 6.9 cm; 5 rounds. Worked around a chain, so it is an oval: sew it on with its long side (along the chain) running side to side. 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 2 more (not counted in any round) and place the marker there. The increases fall on the turns.
  7. With toffee brown: ch 6.
  8. Fasten off leaving a long tail (30–40 cm) for sewing. Do not stuff.

  3. A flat circle about 2.8 cm across; 2 rounds.
  4. Fasten off leaving a long tail (30–40 cm) for sewing. Do not stuff.

  3. Size before assembly: about 20.2 cm at the widest, 1.4 cm long; 2 rounds.
  4. Fasten off leaving a long tail (30–40 cm) for sewing. Do not stuff.

  4. Flat motif — circle (worked in rounds, one layer of fabric), about 4.3 × 4.3 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.

  8. Size before assembly: about 5 cm at the widest, 5 cm long; 9 rounds.
  9. 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.

  9. Size before assembly: about 7.4 cm at the widest, 5 cm long; 10 rounds.
  10. 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.

  7. Size before assembly: about 3.5 cm at the widest, 4.9 cm long; 8 rounds.
  8. 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. Bend ≈ 40° around round 4<!-- the bend spreads over 3 rounds -->. After stuffing, bend the piece so the inner side of the bend faces up on the finished toy (on the piece: in round 4, on the centre top line). On the inner side draw rounds 3 and 5 together (2 rounds go into the fold): with the needle and matching yarn make 3–4 stitches through the loops of both rounds over about 4 st, pull to the angle and hide the end inside.

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 30 mm (on the head): in round 21, 17 st apart (count along round 21: about 8.5 st each side of the centre front line).
  • Safety nose, oval, 24×17 mm (on the muzzle): between rounds 1 and 2, on the centre top line . Colour nose black #1d1a1a.
  • Embroidery in nose black thread (on the muzzle), straight stitches through: (between rounds 1 and 2, on the centre bottom line ) → (between rounds 2 and 3, on the centre bottom line ).
  • Embroidery in nose black thread (on the muzzle) (2, symmetric: the toy's left side is described, the right is its mirror image), straight stitches through: (between rounds 2 and 3, on the centre bottom line ) → (in round 3, 2 st from the centre bottom line, toward the toy's left ) → (in round 3, 4 st from the centre bottom line, toward the toy's left ).
  • Satin stitch (on the muzzle): in tongue pink thread, a oval about 9 mm wide and 8 mm tall, horizontal stitches; centred in round 3, on the centre bottom line .
  • Satin stitch (on the foot) (2: one on each foot; the left one is described, the right is its mirror): in toffee brown thread, a oval about 22 mm wide and 17 mm tall, horizontal stitches; centred in round 1, on the centre top line .
