Duke is cuddly and soft with a round belly and adorable tongue hanging out. :-)

He measures about 13 inches tall when completed with a worsted weight yarn.

Supplies you’ll need…

crochet hook (size determined by yarn)
two colors of worsted weight yarn - less than a skein of each. The sample uses Caron Simply Soft Tweeds in Off-White for the dog body, and a tiny bit of baby pink for the tongue.
one pair of 12 mm black craft eyes
18 mm black triangle nose
polyester stuffing
tapestry needle
locking stitch markers (to count stitches and rounds)

Duke is a beginner level pattern, but it does use a couple of skills that are best tackled if you’ve already made one or two amigurumi.

These are the skills you’ll need…

single crochet
decrease
increase
attaching limbs and other parts
crocheting standing legs
The trickiest part is the rounded belly and shaped feet. It’s not hard - but you have to count a lot of stitches in those sections which means you can’t do it on autopilot. :-)

Don’t worry - the PDF pattern has links to videos teaching you all the skills you’ll need! And it contains progress photos of all the important steps, so you won’t get lost. :-)
