From Boris the Husky to Wendy the Boston Terrier, each collectible little dumpling comes with its own charming personal profile.
You don't have to be an expert to crochet and collect these adorable doggies; the easy-to-follow instructions are accompanied by full-color photos.

This is such cute craft book. For those who enjoy crocheting animals and dogs, this book is a winner. Each of the 20 pattern is designed for all crocheters. There are very clear pictures to go along with each of the patterns. Some of the breeds in this book include a dachshund, bulldog, Labrador retriever, Bernese Mountain dog and so many more. Each of the dogs has a short paragraph where the dog's profile is revealed. There are even patterns for accessories, like a bed, bowls, a dog bone and more.



Each of these puppies would be cute to make as a collection or for small ones that love puppies. Each of their facial features are sewn on so there is no need to worry about loose eyes. I highly recommend this book.

Oh my goodness! The absolute cuteness of this book is just off the charts! These adorable pups are so darn cute, it's hard to decide which one to make first. I think Pappy the Scottish Terrier is my favorite, but who can resist these sweet pups? This book features 20 dogs you can crochet - of many breeds, and also includes patterns for a dog bed, dog food bowls, a bone, and a cardboard box. So cute!! There are full color photos of each dog, and detailed, well written instructions for each one. This book is great for anyone who loves arigurumi crochet. I am excited to make these dumpling pups for several of my dog loving friends (and of course, Pappy for myself!)

I received an ARC of this book from NetGalley.

Love this book it has so much color on each page and the pups are very easy to crochet. I love to crochet amigurumi the little animals don't take long to make and you have a very nice hand made gift for anyone but I like to make them for my great-grandchildren and every time they come they look to see what is new and it makes them so happy. very nice book for any one that knows the basics of crochet it says intermediate but I think that is a broad statement, as the one I just finished was just single crochet. Thanks to Dover publishing for sending me this book for review.

This is a nice crochet pattern book for beginners or advanced with lots of yarn to use up. These small projects, 20 dog pups and several doggie accessories are well illustrated with clear instructions. Little ones will love to play with these. Good book as a gift for the crocheter on your list I received a copy of this ARC in exchange for a fair and honest review.
