Gauge is not critical for this pattern.

Materials needed:
C hook (2.75mm)
DK weight yarn in three colors (yellow, blue, and white)
Berocco Pure Pima DK was used in this project
You can really use whatever yarn you want, worsted with the same size hook would make it look ‘neater’ and probably what I’d do if I made her all over again!
Scrap black yarn for nose, eyes
Yarn needle
4 buttons (1/2”)

Abbreviations used:
Ch – chain
Hdc – half double crochet
MR – magic ring
Sc – single crochet
Sl st – slip stitch

Rep – repeat
Sc2tog – decrease stitch
Shallow sc – a shallow version of single crochet, as defined in “crochet stitches” book

Pattern notes:
This pattern is written in US terms.
The body of the puppy is worked in the round; don’t join or turn. The only things worked flat are the dress and the ears.
