Harley the Dalmatian is a good boy. He is a loyal little puppy who loves company.. almost
as much as he loves his food!

Harley the Dalmatian is a part of my Puppy Friends collection – there’s six cute designs available as individual patterns or as an e-book.

Harley is an intermediate amigurumi (crochet) pattern written in English using US (American) terminology. The pattern includes detailed instructions in an easy to follow layout but a knowledge of basic crochet stitches and techniques used to make amigurumi is essential.

Your tension, yarn thickness and hook size used will affect the size of your finished item. My Harley is approx. 12cm tall.

You will need:

• 2.5mm hook/C-2 (US)
• 8ply yarns/DK or Light Worsted, 50g WHITE, 25g in RED and BLACK
• BLACK 4ply yarn or embroidery thread
• A pair of 9mm safety eyes
• Scissors
• Tapestry needle
• Polyester toy stuffing
• Stitch marker (optional)

Notes:

• Amigurumi is usually stitched in the round and a yarn with no stretch is best.

• When changing colour, pull through the new colour on the stitch before you need it. This will ensure that you have the correct colour yarn on the hook for the upcoming stitch.

• Generally, the hook you use for amigurumi will be a smaller than for other crochet as you want the stitches tight.

• I’ve used the following yarns: o WHITE = Ricorumi DK by Rico Design in col. 001 White o RED = Ricorumi DK by Rico Design in col. 028 Red o BLACK = Ricorumi DK by Rico Design in col. 060 Black

• I have used safety eyes but you may choose to embroider. Please ensure that there are no loose fittings.
