*UPDATED* Farmer Dog in Bib Overalls Stuffed Animal Crochet Pattern






I made this dog and pattern a while back, but in the original post, I noted some changes I'd make if I ever made the dog again. I made another dog and here's the updated pattern. (I did leave the old pattern on the blog, but only for reference. This pattern is much better.)
One thing I did with this puppy is I gave it hinging legs so it could sit down (I used buttons for the hinges).

Dog Pattern:
Using Size 4 yarn and a size G/6-4.00 MM hook

Inc - For this pattern it always means 2 sc in 1 stitch.
Dec - For this pattern it always means sc2tog.
sc - single crochet
hdc - half double crochet
dc - double crochet
sc2tog - sc 2 together
BLO - back loop only
FLO - front loop only


Body:
1: 4 sc in magic circle
2: Inc around - 8
3: (1sc, Inc) around - 12
4: (2 sc, Inc) around - 16
5: (3 sc, Inc) around - 20

32: (5 sc, Dec) around - 24
33: (4 sc, Dec) around - 20
Begin stuffing
34: You will skip making a (3sc, dec) row so the tummy will be flatter on the bottom. Instead...(2 sc, Dec)*5 around - 15
35: (1 sc, Dec) around - 10
Finish stuffing
36: Dec around until closed.
Finish off and weave in tail.

22: (4 sc, Dec) around - 30
23: (1 sc, Dec) around - 20

Sew parts together and embroider the eyes and face.





Overall Pattern

Front panel:
Ch 11
1: Beginning in 3rd ch, dc across - 9
2: ch 2, turn, dc across - 9
Finish off.

Waist:
3: ch 29, sl st across the 9 dcs of row 2, ch 6, (making sure the chains aren't twisted) join the chains together with a slip stitch.
4-11: ch 2, beginning in stitch you made the sl st in dc across, join to top of ch with a sl st - 44
12: (this round will vary a bit depending on the placement of the tail) ch 2, dc 8, ch 5, (skip 5 stitches), dc 31 - 44
13: ch 2, dc 44 across - 44

First leg:
14:ch 2, dc 11, ch 7, (skip 22 st) dc 11, sl st to top of 1st st.
15: ch 2, dc 11, (only crochet in back loop of ch so the other leg can be crocheted in front loop) dc 7 across chain, dc 11
16: ch 1, sc around - finish off

Second leg: I started mine in the middle of the inside part of the leg so the seam wouldn't show. However, you could start anywhere on the leg and adjust the pattern accordingly.
1: working in the front loop of the chain, ch 2 in middle (4th) stitch (this counts as your 1st dc) then dc around - 29 (in the 5th dc - the 1st st in the back of the pants - I noticed a hole between the legs. So I made a dc2tog going through the st of the other leg and went on. I did the same for the front leg join.)
2: sl st 4, 22 dc, sl st 3
3: sl st in 1st st & ch 1, sc 29 - finish off

Straps: with the back of the dog facing me, I did the right strap first. I counted back from the edge of the front panel and attached my strap between st 13 & 14. For the left strap, I counted back from the edge of the front panel and attached my strap between st 14 & 15.

Attach yarn & ch 20
Starting in 3rd ch from hook & working in back of chain: 6 dc, hdc, 9 sc, attach to next stitch in overalls.

Sew buttons onto front of overalls.

Baby Puppy Dog Binkie Pacifier Clip Crochet Pattern

Here is a pattern I created for a puppy dog paci clip.


back
Back


I used size 10 crochet thread and a size 10 hook.
You can make it as long or short as you want, but I made mine about 6" long plus the little loop at the end for the paci.

Face:
1. 6 SC in mc.

7. (Inc, 5 SC)*6 - 42
8. (Inc, 6 SC)*3, SC, beginning in same st, insert hook, pull up loop, then pull yo through alligator clip rod (see photo) and finish sc. Repeat 7x, SC in same stitch as previous but don't crochet through the clip rod, (Inc, 6 SC)*2 - 48


Finish off

(This pattern is for the smile of the face near the clip. For the face flipped away from the clip, follow the pattern below this one.)
Ear: 2x
You'll start the ear in the 8th stitch from the last stitch you made around the clip rod.
For the right ear you'll be working from the front side of the face and for the left ear you'll be working from the back side.
In black,
Sl st, ch 1, 10 SC
turn, sk 1st st, sl st in next, SC in next 3, hdc, 2dc in next 2 st, 2 tc in next, 3tc+SC in last st

Turn, ch 1, sl st & 3tc in 1st, 2 tc in next, 2 dc in next 2 st, hdc, sc in next 4 st, sl st, finish off




Chain:
1. Turn, (ch 3, sk 2, sl st)*3 - depending on how many stitches you had across, you may need to vary the stitches skipped. Just make sure you have 3 loops when you're finished.
2. Turn, puff stitch (as big as desired. I did 5 yo) in each loop, sl st in base of last loop.
3. Turn, 4 puff st across
4. Turn, 3 puff st across, sl st in side of previous row
Repeat 3 & 4 until desired length.
Paci Loop: Turn, sl st, sl st, ch as many as desired (30-40?), sl st in same st, sl st

6-9 Month Baby Tennis Shoes Booties



I made these booties using a different sole than normal, but they should be easy to modify for my other size soles.

I loosely based my soles off of this pattern and the top off this pattern. The toe and upper patterns are a bit confusing, so it's helpful to look at the pictures from the pattern I based the upper part off of.

These shoes ended up being 4.5" long and 2.25" wide
Size 3 DK yarn & a 3.5 mm hook

Sole:
1: Ch 10, 2 hdc in 2nd chain from hook, hdc in next 7 st, 6 hdc in last st, 7 hdc in back loop of ch, 2 hdc in last st - 24

4: join with sl st, ch 1, (2 hdc in st, 1 hdc, 1 hdc)*2, 7 hdc, (2 hdc in st, 1 hdc, 1 hdc)*6, 7 hdc, (2 hdc in st, 1 hdc, 1 hdc)*2 - 54

Upper part:
5: join with sl st, ch 1, BPhdc around - 54
6: join with sl st, ch 1, hdc around - 54
7: join with sl st, ch 1, sc around - 54
Finish off

Toe:
Mark off front 26 st, then begin at front right marker. *Keep markers in for later*
8: ch3, (dc2tog)*12, 1 dc in last st, turn - 14
9: ch3, (dc2tog)*7, 1 dc in last st, turn - 9
10: ch 1, sc8tog, pull knot tight, then finish off.

Tongue:
11: Beginning at front, right side, ch 1, 12 sc evenly across toe, turn - 12

16-18: repeat row 12
Finish off

Ear Saver Crochet Mask Extension Pattern


Here is my pattern for this Ear Saver mask extension. The pattern is extremely adjustable.
The length you need to make will also depend on the width of your head.
I didn't want mine too wide, so I just used sc, but if you wanted a wider band, you could use hdc or dc or just complete row 2 all the way around.

For the buttons, it seemed like it needed to be a large button so you could slip the band off more easily. Also, you don't want the button too flush against the crocheted strip, otherwise the button won't stay on. I ended up seeing my buttons on backwards so the ridged, decorative edge would push the button out from the strip somewhat.

Chain 21
1: Starting in 2nd ch from hook, 19 sc. 3 sc in last stitch. Continuing in the back loop of the chains, 18 sc. 2 sc in last stitch.
2: sl st in 1st sc, ch 1, skip the stitch you sl st in and 19 sc. Sl st in next stitch then finish off with invisible join.
Weave in tail.
Sew on a large button on each end.

Original Farmer Dog in Bib Overalls Stuffed Animal Crochet Pattern

**I've updated this pattern and am just keeping this for records and reference. The updated pattern works better.**








I still had some brown and blue thread I needed to use up after I finished Peter Rabbit, so I made this puppy in overalls. I started using two different patterns for the puppy then just gave up and made up the pattern.
The pattern I ended up making is below. The only thing I would change if I made this puppy again is I would make its tummy more of a ball then make the legs longer and put them directly underneath the tummy. The way this tummy is makes it so the puppy can't sit down. It also makes him wider, so the pants have to be baggier to fit him.


Dog Pattern:
Using Brown Size 4 yarn and a size G/6-4.00 MM hook


Inc - For this pattern it always means 2 sc in 1 stitch.
Dec - For this pattern it always means sc2tog.

4: (2 sc, Inc) around - 24

1: 4 sc in a magic circle
2: sc around - 4
3: (sc, Inc)*2 - 6
4: (2 sc, Inc)*2 - 8
5: (3 sc, Inc)*2 - 10
6-22 (or until desired length): sc around - 10
Sl st in next stitch then finish off, leaving a long "tail" 😉.


Tail #2: The tail that I made was a bit to skinny and long for my dog. Also, the tip wasn't quite right. Next time I'll try the pattern below.

1: 4 sc in a magic circle
2: sc around - 4
3: (sc, Inc)*2 - 6
4: sc around - 6
5: (2 sc, Inc)*2 - 8
6: (3 sc, Inc)*2 - 10
7: (4 sc, Inc)*2 - 12
8-21: sc around - 12
sl st in next stitch then finish off, leaving a long tail.


Sew parts together and embroider the eyes and face.








Overall Pattern:
This pattern will definitely need adjusting for another dog, but it worked perfectly for mine. I used #3 light blue yarn, so the yarn was smaller than the yarn I used for the dog. I used the same hook, though.
This pattern is made so you don't have to sew any parts together. The only downfall is that the seam is in the front. I suppose you could make the front panel (through row 3) then finish off, chain 20, sl st across the DCs, then chain 20 more. This would make the seam be in the back.
My dog's tail was also 1 stitch off center so the pattern may need to be adjusted 1 stitch starting from the tail hole down.
(Every time you make a (sl st, ch 2) make the 1st DC in the same stitch.)
Ch 13
1:1st row will be done working on the chain upside down. Starting in the 3rd ch from hook, DC across - 11
2: ch 2, turn, DC across - 11
3: ch 2, turn, DC across then ch 40
4-8: join with sl st to other side, ch 2, DC across
9: join with sl st, ch 2, 28 DC, ch 5 (skip 5 stitches for the dog's tail.), 18 sc
10-12: join with sl st, ch 2, DC around
Without cutting your yarn, you will start on the first leg.
13: sl st 6, ch 10, flatten the overalls and begin working directly across from your last sl st (this will split the overalls in half for the legs.) sl st 19
14: sl st, ch 2, 6 dc, BLO 10 DC, 19 DC
15: DC around
16: sc around, then finish off with an invisible join and weave in tail.

Now you will start on the other leg.
Starting at the front, sl st around to middle. (You will not have done the middle, connecting part yet.)
1: You will now be starting each row at the back of the pants. Ch 2 then FLO 10 DC, Both loops dc around
2: Ch 2, DC around
3: Ch 1, sc around.
Finish off with the invisible join and weave in tail.



Straps: You will make 2 - This pattern works for the tiny, craft buttons. If you want to use larger buttons, you will need to use hdc or dc.
Starting about 3 stitches away from the tail hole, join the yarn to the top, back of the overalls, ch 24
Starting in the 3rd ch from hook, sc across. Join to top of overalls, finish off and weave in tail.


Sew buttons on to the front, then you are finished!

*The length of the soles will be the finished length of the bootie, so measure before going on.
