I wish you all the best for your birthday and hope you get lots and lots of licorice as gifts. I browsed the shop especially for you and thought you might enjoy patterns with dogs.
So here are a few pretty dogs, free of course, because it’s your birthday:
Free crochet pattern "Colorful Dog"

How about a colorful pair of dogs? Very decorative, playful too, of course, and simply wonderful. Want to get started right away?
These two here are incredibly sweet and lovely and so loyal-looking. They’ll warm your heart right away.
Free crochet pattern Theo Tatze

You need at least one of these. Get started.
And then we have another colorful dog, a real magnificent specimen.
Lumpi, colorful dog, crocheted
The dog collection isn’t complete without Lumpi. Crochet it now.
Was there something for you? I hope you have fun making them.
