While this year of school is almost over, I thought it would be a fun idea to make some softies for my little brothers (I have got one brother who is 6 now, and the other is 3). They absolutely love a series called ”Paw Patrol”, so of course I had to make Marshall and Chase. But when I had made them, I thought they would fall from grace if I dressed them up like in ”Paw Patrol” (not that I do not like the series, I honestly think it is really fun). So before dressing them up I used them as a general pattern for a dog. With some variations you can basically make any kind of dog.
Here they are sitting on my couch:

The pattern
I used a 4 mm crochet needle and matching yarn. You will need a darling needle, some fiberfill and a stitch marker. For the eyes I used 10 mm safety eyes, but you can also crochet eyes or embroider eyes on your dog.
Used abbreviations:
- sc – single crochet
- sl st – slip stitch
- mr – magic ring
- inc – increase
- dec – decrease
- FO – fasten off
- ch – chain
- till end – till end of round

They are about 15 cm when made with a 4mm hook and matching yarn.

Any suggestions to make them larger?

The easiest way is to make them with a bigger hook and bigger yarn, that way you can make them bigger without having to make changes to the pattern. 😉

I crochet “dolls” for the Police to give to children in crisis. I feel a dog is more appropriate for the little boys. I looked in 3 craft stores this weekend for dog patterns and found none. Thank you helping me keep the cost of my materials down

Thank you soooooo much for making this pattern! My nephew loves the show; gets awkward sometimes cause his favourite character is Chase, and that’s my name :’D

I think this would make an excellent “brown dog” for the new movie coming out.

I used this pattern & modified the lengths a bit to create a very lovely likeness of my dog who just passed. Thank you for a wonderful pattern to help me create an adorable tribute to him.
