Soothing Sox – A Puppy Full of Hugs

From the tip of its ears to the bottom of its body, Sox stands a very proud 8 inches tall—but as we know, measuring height in crochet isn’t always that simple! Without its ears, Sox happily sits at 5.25 inches tall, perfect for cuddles. And trust me, with its impressive 4-inch arm span, Sox gives the best hugs! I honestly felt better after curling up for a nap with mine.

This is a wonderfully playful project that helps clear out scrap yarn in no time! There’s no strict gauge, making it beginner-friendly—just be sure to use a hook that creates a tight fabric so your little pup doesn’t leak stuffing (we don’t want a messy situation!).

Yarn & Size Options

Aran weight yarn produces Sox’s standard 5.25-inch height
DK yarn held double with a 4.5mm–5mm hook will create a larger pup
Single-strand DK makes Sox smaller and even more pocket-sized

Feel free to mix colors for a speckled or spotted puppy or use variegated yarn for a unique effect—every Sox can have its own personality!
