This free crochet poodle pattern makes a sitting apricot toy poodle with a curly topknot, long curly ears and a pompom tail. The amigurumi poodle wears a pink bow in its curls and has big shiny eyes with embroidered lashes, rosy cheeks and a smooth little muzzle. It is worked in the round in single crochet with DK yarn and a 2.5 mm hook and stands about 13 cm (5 in) tall; popcorn rounds texture the ears and tail, and small padded circles sewn over the head make the curls. Follow it row by row with stitch counts and turn the interactive 3D model to see where every curl goes.

- 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.

- 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 mm deep in front, a rounded back; about 42 mm wide. Keep the opening a curve, hollow side forward, not a straight line.<!-- (spoon 45 %) --> Bend ≈ 90° around round 13<!-- 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 13, 1 st from the centre bottom line, toward the back <!-- st 1.22 back -->). If the ear sticks out, smooth it down along the head by hand.
