Crochet a Pug – an Amigurumi Dog with a Wrinkly Face (EN & DE)

IMPORTANT: You are buying a PDF crochet pattern, NOT the finished toy.

This pattern is included in English AND German – both PDF versions are part of the download.

A lovable little pug to crochet – with the typical wrinkly face, a short snub nose, faithful button eyes and floppy ears. His unmistakable expression comes from many small individual folds; how they are crocheted and placed is explained step by step with photos. A charming companion for the shelf, for cuddling, or as a special gift for dog lovers.

Finished size: approx. 25 cm. A detailed step-by-step PDF with lots of photos; every round and every row is written out individually, with stitch counts.

Photo note: The crocheted item is real and made by me. On some photos the background was AI-generated or digitally edited.
