Free pattern for Peter the Dog. Watch the video on YouTube.

***

MATERIALS:

• YarnArt Mink - 1 skein, black
• Nako Paris - 1 skein, white (I used this yarn to crochet The Cute Owl by LittleOwlsHut)
  
• Alize Softy black for embroidering the nose
• Black floss for embroidering the muzzle
• Black and white piece of felt for the eyes (you may also crochet the eyes with white and black yarn)
• White fabric paint and thin brush for painting the eyes reflexion
  
• Crochet hook 2.5 mm.

 

In my pattern, in even-numbered rounds, I divided scs to obtain almost perfect round (not hexagonal shape): e.g. Rnd 4: (1 sc, inc, 1 sc) x 6 [24]. You can of course crochet traditional way: Rnd 4: (2 sc, inc) x 6 [24].

Black pupil

Rnd 1: 6 sc in MR [6]

Sew the pupil to the eye. Embroider white reflexion. 

 

Firstly I made crochet eyes but I decided I prefer felt eyes.

Version 2 - felt:

See the template for SEAL or DROP OF WATER

Felt eyes are glued with magic glue and then I added white reflexion with white fabric paint and thin brush.

 

TAIL

Black and white.

I've run out of yarn so the tail has white tip and a bit of black.

ch 4, insert the hook in 2nd ch from the hook and work 3 sc, 1 turning chain, turn.

Work as many rows as you want to get shorter or longer tail.
