Chester is the puppy you’re happy to adopt! Another chubby little dumpling in my fastest growing collection, I have to say he has a special place in my heart. With those perky ears, and that inquisitive look, Chester’s a must-have… and even comes with a bonus bandana instruction!

This sweet little dumpling is the third pattern from the “ASK & RECEIVE” promo. Haven’t submitted your idea yet? go to my blog for the details on how to participate and win a free pattern! dawntoussaint.blogspot.com , ends 7/31.

Chester is a 6 inch pup. He’s crocheted together (not seamed) for extra durability(except his muzzle).

This pattern has 10 pages full of all the info an experienced crocheter would need to make this little treasure; including technique descriptions, illustrations, and photos. I would rate this as “beginner” , and requires only minimal embroidery skills.

Suggested materials: wool and wool blend yarn (worsted weight, at least 3 colors, ~100(color A) & ~50 yds(color B&C)), polyester or natural filling, 12-14 mm glass or plastic safety eyes, cotton fabric and felt.
