Making a crochet dog beagle is a whimsical project that's perfect for anyone who loves to work with yarn and enjoys a touch of canine cuteness. This little beagle is more than a simple toy; it's a buddy with its own character, complete with perky ears and a friendly face.
Crochet Amigurumi Dog Beagle Pattern
Materials:
- Crochet hook (size not specified)
- Yarn in various colors for the puppy's body, nose, and collar
- Main color for the body (e.g., beige)
- White yarn for the head
- Darker color for the nose
- Additional color for the collar (and potentially a bell for embellishment)
- Stitch marker
- Yarn needle for assembly
- Safety eyes or buttons for the eyes (size not specified)
- Fiberfill for stuffing (not mentioned, but typically needed for amigurumi projects)

Pattern:
Head:
- Start with a magic ring.
R1:
- 6 single crochet (sc) in ring (6 sts).
R2:
- 2 sc in each st around (12 sts).
R3:
- 1 sc in the first st, 2 sc in the next st repeat around (18 sts).
- Continue the pattern, progressively increasing the number of sts in each round until you reach the desired size of the head. Each round will likely have 6 additional sts from the previous one. Mark the beginning of each round with a stitch marker.
Nose:
- Begin with a chain 5.
- Work sc in chains, with increases at the ends to form a rounded nose.
R1:
- Start from the second chain from the hook, 4 sc, work 4 sc in last ch, then continue on the opposite side with 3 sc, and finally 3 sc in the last ch (14 sts).
R2:
- Increase sts by working 2 sc in one st in several places (22 sts).
Ears:
- Start with a magic ring.
- Work a few rounds, increasing as for the head, to form the ears.
- Eventually, make rounds without increases to elongate the ears.
Legs:
- Start with a magic ring.
- Work a few rounds of sc (amount may be variable depending on the size and shape you want for the legs).
Tail:
- Work a small cylinder starting with a magic ring and work it for a few rounds.
Body:
Start with a chain that forms the foundation of the body.
- Work sc along the chain and then work rounds to build up the body.
Collar:
- Chain 25 (or required length to fit around the puppy's neck).
- Slip stitch back along the chain for a total of 14 stitches (or as needed), add a bell for embellishment if desired.
