Free Crochet Masterclass: How to Crochet a Puppy by @nivั–r_vั–ntะฐge

Translation by Irina Mexedova

In this masterclass, you will learn how to crochet a cute little puppy. The crocheted puppy will have four paws and can be made with any yarn suitable for amigurumi. For this project, we suggest using a yarn like YarnArt Jeans with a 2.5 mm hook. All parts are crocheted separately, and the paws and tail are sewn on, while the ears are crocheted directly as part of the head.
