Hello. Today we will consider how to crochet a dog amigurumi. The height of the toy is 10 cm, knitted from acrylic/cotton yarn. The pattern with the description includes a step-by-step process of knitting a dog. I also plan to shoot a video master class with the whole process of knitting from and to. Be sure to add video to this pattern.
