Awesome Dog Amigurumi

Amigurumi in itself is awesome. It’s always amazing how a designer can take a strand of yarn and form it into the shape(s) of animals with just a hook and needle. I love dogs, so that means I love dog amigurumi. It’s fun to see how different designers craft their image of a dog.

Here we will feature very different interpretations of dogs by several designers. Most are patterns, some are ready made or made to order. Each will have a link (click on each title) to take you to each design to explore at your leisure. Enjoy your stroll through Dog Amigurumi Land.
