Vintage Crochet Stuffed Dog Pattern


As predicted, I am overloading you with patterns all at once.  You don't mind, do you?

This is a lovely and oh so cute, vintage dog pattern that I have re-imaged to a more comprehensible format. The designer did quite well  with the writing of this pattern, easy to follow.  I just wish it had the designers name. Not many clarifications were needed to be done.

I am still working on mine. but not in the recommended thread, but with a worsted 4 ply yarn in vibrant colors.

Cute, Cute, Cute, is all I think of, to describe this pattern.

 I really like the body design, because this sits up quite well.  If you look at this stuffed dog closely, you could exclude the ears and lengthen the tail, add some whiskers and voila, you have a cat.  See it?

I can't show mine to you because it is a gift, but I will post it at a later date.  The possibilities are endless.

The multitude of colors and different yarns you could use, gives you the option of making a standard colored dog, a colorful whimsical dog brushing the yarn out and making a furry dog. How about wool yarn and wet felting?

I love it when a designer puts a lot of diversity into a design, that when I look at it, I see a lot of other options and uses with the pattern.

I can't wait to show you the one I am finishing up, but I don't want to spoil the surprise gift.
