Pocket Pup

Crochet Pattern

By @_stitched_creations on IG
StitchedCreationsGB on Etsy
Intro
This pattern ONLY includes how to make the Shih Tzu, multiple other
dog breed patterns are also available on my shop as individual patterns
or as a bundle :)
These dogs work up pretty quick and would make the perfect desk
pets!!

There are photograph instructions showing how to make the legs for
those who are unfamiliar with 4 legged plushies.

If you want a Pocket Pup similar in size and proportion to mine I would
recommend using a similar fluffy yarn with a 4.5mm hook.

Please do not copy, sell, replicate or steal my pattern!


You are welcome to sell finished makes as long as you credit me
@_stitched_creations as the original pattern creator :)

Assembly-Head
Sew the head on R9 of the body (you might have to
adjust this if you want the head to be tilted)
To sew on the head secure it in place and then sew on the
head as shown in the photo, you might have to add an
extra stitch at the back of the head to hold it up.
There should be a small space at the back of the body for
the tail to be attached to.
To make the collar I wrapped around a piece of acrylic
yarn twice.

Assembly-Ears
Sew to the head on R5, you can also add an extra stitch
near the bottom of the ear to pin it to the head
Assembly-Muzzle
Sew the muzzle to the head between R8 and R11
Assembly-Tail
Sew to the back of the body
