Crochet Dog Amigurumi

 

I made these crochet dogs using one of my base patterns and added a few different ear shape options to switch things up. I used some mystery tweed yarn from my stash which gave them a really nice speckle of color.


They turned out super cute and small. I’ve made a few more in bright colors too and I’ll be sharing those once I get photos taken.

These are Squittles ✨ Crochet Octopus Collection

These are forever my favorite animals to crochet. They always look super cute with their big eyes! Back in the day, we had a shop full of colorful cephalopod plushies called Squittle and I still love that name. 


This was one of the first octopus designs I came up with and I always wanted to write down the pattern, but it doesn’t exactly follow standard crochet rules. I also never count my stitches and just wing it…  ðŸ˜‰ I'm sure there's a way to make it no-sew but I don't mind all the sewing. It's still a classic.


Here are some Squittle relics!







Lately, I’ve been experimenting with different yarns and textures to see what works best. I still love making panda bear octopuses and using whatever supplies I have on hand, like felt and scrap yarn. The chunky and acrylic yarn combo was definitely an interesting experiment!









Some of these amigurumi plushies are available at Ami Moonso be sure to check them out if you’d like to give one a home! 💕☾
