Hooded Hiro is an amigurumi puppy dog that can sit up on his own. He has a ragdoll-style body with floppy arms and legs attached to the body, making him a great cuddle toy for kids, including babies, toddlers, and young children. Hiro’s outfit is a simple sweatshirt with removable hood and straps. Hiro is very quick to work up using super bulky blanket yarn or chenille velvet yarn, and requires minimal sewing as the legs and body are all crocheted in one piece. He can be easily customized with different yarn colors, color changes (for stripes or color blocks), embellishments, appliques, and finishing touches. This stuffed animal plush is the perfect birthday, baby shower, and Christmas holiday gift!

The PDF pattern includes full written instructions as well as photo references and video tutorials for some of the stitches/methods used.
