Pocket Pug

Hey all, it's been a while since I've updated this blog.
Here's a pattern I had posted to tumblr previously in 2013

This pattern is for semi experienced crocheters. Just be familiar with increases and decreases, and assembling amigurumi.

This is my own pattern, please don’t claim it or try and sell it as your own! You can make as many pugs as you want, but not for profit, unless you plan to donate 100% profits to animal shelters :)
