Crochet Dog Pattern (Free Charts)

A 26-stitch puppy face with floppy ears — small enough for one evening, cute enough for a whole blanket.

Dog people don't want a generic silhouette — they want something that looks like it could be their dog. This puppy face keeps it simple: floppy ears, big nose, two honest eyes, in a 26 × 15 grid you can finish in a sitting. Six colors sounds like a lot, but two of them are just the nose and the blush.

Two colorways below: classic tan puppy and a grey one for the schnauzer and pitbull crowd. Same chart, same stitch counts — swap the main color and it becomes a different dog.

The original — warm tan with chocolate ears and a pink blush. Reads as 'generic good dog', which is exactly the point.

Same chart in cool grey — the schnauzer, pittie, or blue heeler version. Keep the pink blush for maximum charm.

How to crochet it

  1. Pick your dog's color and a 5 mm hook

    About 25 yards total in worsted weight — a true stash-buster. With a 5.0 mm (H/8) hook the panel comes out roughly 18 × 10 cm.

  2. Work 15 rows bottom-up

    One cell = one single crochet. The ears frame the face early, so you always know where you are — the only counting moment is the nose.

  3. Make it yours

    Sew it onto a tote, a dog bandana backing, or a blanket square. Change the ear color and it's a different breed — that's the whole trick.

Frequently asked questions

Is this dog pattern good for beginners?

Yes — 26 × 15 stitches, big connected areas, and the ears give you landmarks so you never lose your place. If you can single crochet and change color once, you can finish it in an evening.

Can I use this dog chart for C2C?

Yes — each cell becomes one C2C block worked diagonally. In C2C with worsted yarn the puppy comes out around 33 × 19 cm, a nice pillow front or baby blanket square.

How do I make the chart look like my own dog?

Swap the two main colors (body and ears) to match your dog — black and tan for a rottweiler, all brown for a lab. For a true portrait, the pattern generator converts your dog's photo into a counted chart automatically.

Is the dog pattern free?

Yes, free for personal use in both colorways. It's an original design made for this site.

What size blanket square does it make?

In worsted weight single crochet with a 5 mm hook, about 18 × 10 cm — slightly wider than tall, like a good dog face. Add a plain border to square it up for a blanket grid.
