That being said, I got inspired today reading an article on Moogly and here are 5 adorable and free crochet patterns your dog will barely let you finish before grabbing it, weaving in the tail!
1. Tiny Whale by June Gilbank
Image source: JuneThis little whale is the perfect size to sit in the palm of your hand! But even better than that: he’s crocheted all in one piece, so there’s no sewing involved to make him!
Yarn: worsted weight yarn
Hook: E US/3.5mm crochet hook
Size: approx 3.5” long. (Your gauge and yarn choice will affect the finished size slightly.)
Eyes: 8mm
2. Ideal Crochet Sphere by Emily Premise-Conclusion
Image source: Emily Premise-ConclusionThis pattern is for mathematically ideal crochet spheres of different sizes! There are 10 different sizes in this pattern. Turns out the number of stitches in each row scales with sin(theta), where theta is the polar angle of the sphere.
I haven’t made all of these spheres myself (that would just be too much spherey-ness for me!) but the pattern for each sphere is based on calculations that I’ve made. Please let me know if you try one out and the pattern doesn’t work out the greatest!
3. Dog Bone Toy by Jessica Suzanne
Image source: JessicaRomeo is a teeny timy dog, so he couldn’t chew through this thing. However, I would supervise larger dogs to ensure they can’t get to the polyfil inside.
4. Cozy Pet Bed by Johanna Dzikowski
Image source: JoHannaPamper your loyal and loving furry friends with this cozy pet bed. They will feel like royalty with their own special place to curl up and take a cat nap.
Skill Level
BeginnerFinished Size
17 inches in diameter
5. Farmyard Finger Puppets by Yvonne Boucher
Image source: YvonneI did this pattern at the request of a mother who wanted it as a teaching tool for her autistic son. Each puppet has a tail which does not show in the picture. The puppets are easy to make and use basic crochet stitches. A fun way to use little scraps of yarn.
Got inspired? Happy day crocheting!
