Today for Dogtober I offer you another free pattern. He's small in the same scale as my Odie pattern and my Snoopy (which I plan to write up a pattern for later) so you could make a small collection of cartoon pups! I made mine with milk cotton as I have an abundance of coral milk cotton, but I recommend acrylic as it is way easier to work with. As always my patterns are written in US crochet terms.
