1. Dog Animal Amigurumi
This patch-eyed pooch is ready for cuddles from your favorite kiddo. If you’re stitching the dog as a toy for a young child, swap the safety eyes for crocheted or embroidered eyes instead.

2. Â ‘Lucky’ the Chihuahua Dog Amigurumi
Lucky was created in honor of the designer’s friend’s dog who sadly passed away. The designer notes that if you’re creating this to resemble a specific chihuahua, you may need to slightly change the design of the head, as it was designed specifically with Lucky in mind.

3. Perky Puppy
This puppy is ready to play. He (or she, depending on what you choose!) is all ears and made completely of single crochets. You can easily customize the design to be any color you’d like, especially if you’d like a more realistic-looking dog.

4. Bulldog Amigurumi
This bulldog offers a few optional challenging parts for crocheters who want to learn some new amigurumi skills. For example, you can thread the jointed limbs to create a bulldog that has movable joints so that the dog can either stand or sit.
