Synopsis

This collection presents 14 amigurumi dogs designed to look strikingly lifelike, complete with textured fur. The projects begin with a crocheted base using core amigurumi methods, before adding yarn that is then trimmed and brushed to shape a realistic coat; finishing touches such as eyes and a nose bring each pup to life.

Patterns cover a range of popular small breeds, including Poodles, Papillons, Dachshunds, Schnauzers, Shih Tzus, Yorkies, Pomeranians, Maltese and Bichon Frisé. Step-by-step colour photographs guide both the crochet and the styling stages, while instructions are provided in written and chart formats for clarity. A thoughtful choice for crocheters making gifts for dog lovers, with scope to customise colours to resemble a familiar pet.
