Materials: any yarn with a matching hook (note: hook should be on the small size as these dogs are crocheted tightly to prevent the stuffing from showing through)polyester stuffingtapestry needlea piece of ribbon for decoration

Abbreviations (US terminology):

ch - chaindc - double crochethdc - half double crochetrep - repeatrnd - roundRS - right sidesc - single crochet

sc2tog - [insert hook through next st, pull up a loop] 2times, then yarn through all three remaining loops on hooksl st - slip stitchst/s - stitch/esWS - wrong side

Notes:

The number before each instruction does not necessarily indicate the row numbers, they indicate the individual steps.

These dogs are worked back and forth in rows, mostly in sc, in one piece. They are started with the ear, followed by the head. Then they are continued by the back and tail. Each row of the body is attached to the head, as the neck, while worked from back down to the tummy. Next is the back leg and finally the dogs are finished with the frontleg.

You need to work two of these pieces for a stuffed dog (one half can be used as an appliqué). There are several possibilities of how the pieces can be joined. I gave the option I liked best, the small one is sewn, the medium one crocheted together and the large and extra large one are also crocheted together, this time with a double faced seam. Feel free to use any of these techniques, which are explained in the specific size, or use your own one.

The smallest scottie dog makes a cute key chain. The extra large one is meant to be a pillow.

The small dog requires just a few yards of yarn, the medium a little more. For the large one I used 100g of bulky yarn (109yds = 100m/ 100g) with a gauge of 15sc per 4inches = 10cm. The extra large version uses up a lot of yarn, about 547yds = 500m with a gauge of 20sc per 4inches = 10cm.

The small and medium scottie dog are charted and have written instructions. The large and extra large scottie dog are worked in the same manner, the only difference is that there are more stitches.


Small Scottie Dog:

1. Ch3. Starting in 2nd ch from hook, work 1sl st in second ch from hook, 1sc in next ch (= ear).

2. Ch7. Starting in 2nd ch from hook, work 1sc in each of next 6ch, being careful not to twist the chain work 1sc over the edge of sc of ear, 1sc in very first ch (= 1row à 8sc). Ch1, turn.

3. Work 4more rows in sc.

4. Ch13. Starting in 2nd ch from hook, work 1sl st in each of next 2ch, 2sc in next ch, 1sc in each of next 9ch, being careful not to twist the chain work 1sc in last sc of head, 1sl st in next sc (= body and tail). Ch1, turn.

5. 1sl st in sl st, 1sc in each of next 10sc. Ch1, turn.

6. 1sc in each of next 10sc, 1sc in sl st, 1sc in next sc of head, 1sl st in next sc. Ch1, turn.

8. 2sc in first sc, 1sc in each st until end of row (= 13sc). Ch1, turn.

9. 1sc2tog, sc until end of row. Ch1, turn.

Now you start working both legs at the same time. If you prefer working the backleg first and then the frontleg, make sure you attach the yarn for the frontleg correctly:

10. For backleg: 1sc in each of next 2sc, 1sc2tog.For frontleg: Skip 4sc, attach a second skein of yarn in the next sc (= 4th sc counted from

the end of the row). Work 1sc2tog, 1sc in each of last 2sc.

Work the following part of the instructions (11-14) for each leg:11. Ch1, turn. Sc until end of row (= 3sc).

12. Ch1, turn. Sc until end of row. Ch2, turn.

13. Starting in 2nd ch from hook, work 2sc in 2nd ch from hook, being careful not to twist the chain work 1sc in each of next 3sc (= 5sc). Ch1, turn.

14. 1sc in each of next 4sc, 1sl st in last sc.Break yarn.

Rep 1-14 for the second half of the scottie dog. This time leave a long tail on one of the legs. Put one half on top of the other and sew them together, at the same time stuff the dog firmly.

Weave in all ends.

Tie a bow around the dog's neck.
