Amigurumi Poodle

18/12/2012

PictureAmigurumi Poodle
I wanted to add some dogs to my collection of Amigurumi Animals.  My Fiance's Sister suggested I start with a poodle.  So this is what I came up with.  At first, I had her nose/mouth as pink and she looked like a rodent.  By changing it to black, I was able to make her look more like a dog.    

I used Sharon's basic pattern for the Little Bigfoot Collection as a starting point, and then changed it up to get the look I wanted.  

She is 3" tall.

Check out Amigurumi Animals to see other animals I have made in a similar fashion.  Or continue reading below for the pattern on how I made her.
This project is worked in continuous rounds, unless otherwise stated.

I used a 1.6mm hook and crochet cotton (I am guessing it is somewhere between sizes 3-10).  This produced a 3" tall animal.  If you used a 3.75mm hook and worsted-weight yarn, that would produce a 5"-6" animal approximately.  So long as you use a hook size with a yarn that produces hole-less and tight stitches, you are good to go!

I made her in two colours, but you don't have to use two colours.  You can get away with one, and if you do that, you don't have to worry about the tapestry crochet techniques used in this project.

*You will need to know how to do a double loop stitch to make this dog.

Special notes for this stitch:  Normally, a double loop stitch is worked by wrapping yarn around 2 fingers and pulling that through the stitch you are working instead of just pulling the yarn through normally.  For this project, I used a coffee stirring straw that I cut a portion out of at one side for ease, except for on top of the head where I used a pencil.


**If you are familiar with Tapestry Crochet, then you will understand what I mean by carrying a colour/yarn, and you will know how to switch between colours/yarns.

If not, it is really simple.

For Carrying Yarn:
You just place the extra yarn on top of the stitches you are crocheting into and sc around the extra yarn.

For Colour Change:
On the last stitch before a colour change, sc as normal, but stop when you have 2 loops on your hook.  Drop the yarn you are working with and pull the other yarn through the 2 loops.  Now continue to sc; this time you are carrying the other colour.

Now that you have all your pieces, it is time to put them together.


Sew the body to the head.  Then sew the arms, legs, tail and ears to the body.  


Next, if you haven't already, sew the nose onto the face and use the rest of the yarn to embroider a mouth.  Embroider your eyes, or use whatever method you like for the eyes.  If you are using safety eyes, remember to put those into rnd 6-8 before you finish the head.  


Finally, crochet hair to the top of the head. 


If you find any mistakes in the pattern, or need help, please feel free to write them in the comments section below.
