Today, I’m excited to share a charming plush dog amigurumi pattern with you. A huge thank you to chirka_toys for this amazing design! While the amigurumi dog pattern is easy to follow, the end result is incredibly stylish and durable. The back legs of the dog amigurumi provide extra stability, making it a perfect addition to any collection. Plus, its short legs allow it to sit comfortably, adding to its overall cuteness.

2. Embroider a nose, mouth and eyebrows.
3. Sew the ears in Rnd 16 of the head at a distance of 5 sc.
4. Sew on the head. First fix it with two knitting needles to the body, and then sew it using the remaining yarn tail on the body. Strengthen the neck with fiberfill.

(For convenience, I fixed them with three long needles on the body, and then I sewed them on).
