Franky, the clever little French Bulldog, loves to sing and practices most of the day - making some very interesting noises… he is very loyal to his human and loves to spend his evenings lap-warming (whilst snoring over the telly). He sits just over 8 inches tall (when made with the recommended materials).

The 8 page pattern is intermediate skill level and is available in US and UK terminology – both versions will be available for you to download. It is clear to follow with detailed instructions and lots of pictures for step by step making and assembly. There are also picture instructions for colour change, back loop only and front post stitch.

The following stitches/techniques are used in this pattern:
US Terminology - slip stitch, magic ring, single crochet, half double crochet, double crochet, increase, decrease (sc2tog), colour change, back loop only, front post stitch
UK Terminology - slip stitch, magic ring, double crochet, half treble, treble, increase, decrease (dc2tog), colour change, back loop only, front post stitch

Recommended Materials:

• Yarn: I have made Franky using Scheepjes Cahlista (Aran/worsted weight yarn) - colour and weight details in pattern
• Hook: 3.5mm (E) crochet hook
• Stuffing: I use polyester filling
• Safety eyes: I have used 15mm plastic safety eyes, but you can embroider the eyes on if you prefer
• Yarn needle
• Pins
• (A stitch marker and row counter are useful)
