This endearing crochet sausage dog works up in no time, using chunky yarn and a large hook.

One day - I’d love to make one with a body so long that you can tie him in a knot…

And if you prefer to make a smaller version, just use a finer yarn and a smaller hook – the choice is yours!

Just imagine how precious his striped body would look if you made him using sock yarn.

Toy measures 58 cm (23 in) long and 12 cm (4 ¾ in) tall, not including the height of the tail.

In addition to your yarn and hook, you will also need:
Wool needle
Stitch markers (3)
25mm safety eyes (2)
Polyfill stuffing, 175g
