Long-Legged Stuffy Puppy Crochet Pattern

This plush puppy crochet pattern is extra cuddly and a great size! The plush yarn helps it work up quickly, while still being extra snuggly.

Crochet Long-Legged Stuffy Puppy Amigurumi Pattern Notes

This plush puppy crochet pattern is extra cuddly but works up so quickly compared to “traditional” yarn. It stands about 10 inches tall and the arms and legs are movable! I have A LOT of videos to help you out with making it.

This is one of my Mix & Make patterns, because you can mix up the body and make something completely different! There are three different bodies for one head, so if you don’t love this stuffy version you can also make it in a Big Footed Snuggler Version, or in the fun Chubby Standing Body!

The head for each puppy pattern is the same. Then you will have the Chubby Standing body, the Long Legged Stuffy with movable arms and legs, and the Big Footed Snuggler. The Big Footed Snuggler has a super cool trick to keep the feet “stuffed” but it doesn’t use traditional stuffing. This way you can get the shape but also keep the cuddly snuggler feel and not have the stuffing move into the body!

You can choose to work with different yarn for this long-legged stuffy puppy crochet pattern, just keep in mind that although many yarns are classified the same, they can work up much differently.

I used Premier Basix Chenille for this pattern- one of my favorites! But you can sub a different yarn if you would like. Just keep in mind that different types of yarn, even if they say they are the same size, work up differently.

To get started making this free Long-Legged Stuffy Puppy crochet pattern, you’ll want to gather all your materials first.

video tutorials

These methods are used in this pattern!

• Eye Embroidery Collection
• Attaching Limbs Video
• Disc Neck and Head Attachment

Notes:

This puppy is the more traditional stuffy, with a defined body and adorably long arms and legs. This is a good sized stuffy, when sitting it is about 10 inches tall. When you use the method found right here (my favorite way to attach plush yarn) the arms and legs are movable! The head and mane are attached at the end.

You can use safety eyes or try out embroidered eyes so it would be safe for a baby/toddler.

I have a collection of embroidery videos here.

I used blanket yarn for this pattern, a size 6 weight. I typically use Premier Basix Chenille, Bernat Blanket and Bernat Baby Blanket. I think these are interchangeable size wise. I use a 4.5mm hook for the Premier Basix Chenille and a 5mm for Bernat, which is much smaller than the recommended size on the label, but I want nice, tight stitches for this type of pattern. If this is too tight for you, size up a hook size until you can crochet comfortably but still have tight stitches.

Please be aware that even though the label may say it is size 6, some materials and brands work up much differently. Keep that in mind as you are choosing your yarn.
Suitable yarns could be regular Bernat Blanket, Premier Basix Chenille yarn or Cozy Cub from Michaels (formerly Big Twist from Joann’s).

Patch

With worsted weight yarn and a 4mm hook:
Round 1: In a magic circle, SC 6
Round 2: SC INC in each around. (12)
Round 3: SC in the first, INC in the next. (18)
Fasten off and leave a long tail to sew onto the face.
Insert the eye before you sew the patch on. (see photo tutorial below)

Head

Using winter white:
Round 1: SC 8 in a magic ring (8)
Round 2: INC in each around. (16)

Insert eyes between round 5 and 6, using the 8 INC of row 6 to help center them. There should be about 6 stitches between the eyes. If you are using the eye patch, sew it on now. You can use hot glue to pre-attach if you want it to stay in place while you sew it on. You will see about 4-5 stitches because the eye patch will cover some.

You can also embroider your eyes on at the very end. If you want to embroider, I have a video here.

Attaching the Head to the Body

Watch the video tutorial here.
Once you are ready to attach the head to the body, pin the flat disc that is at the top of the body where you want it on the head. Try to center it as best you can. I prefer mine to be slightly close to the nose so that the head flops forward more than backwards.

As you sew, go through the front loop on the SC at the top of the disc. Pull tightly each time. Try to pull the disc out as you go, so that it lies as flat to the head as you can.

Using caramel:
Round 1: SC 6 in a magic circle.
Rounds 2-4: SC in each around.
Round 5: SC in the first, SC INC in the next. (9)

Round 7: SC in the first, SC INC in the next. (12)
