Dog Rat and Tug Toy
This set is designed for the student or second step beginner. This pattern assumes you know how to work in the round. That you know where to place stitches and also how to increase and decrease in single crochet.

Some dogs tear their toys up and some (like mine) carry it around like a pet they toss around from time to time.  These work up very quickly and are unstuffed.

For both patterns in this set:
1.) Double WW cotton yarn (about 3.5 ounces) or two strand
of ww held together and worked as one.
2.) K/6.5 mm hook
3.) Large eyed yarn needle

GAUGE: About 11 single crochets and 11 rows per 4 inch by 4 inch square. Gauge is not critical. Will shrink if laundered. All measurements are before laundering and doggie rough play.

sc = single crochet
