    Crochet Balloon Dog

    A lot of people love balloon animals! But they always have an unfortunate
    tendency to pop or deflate over time. So why not make a more long-lasting version?
    This cuddly plush has a beginner-friendly pattern, and makes a perfect companion for
    any dog and/or balloon lover.

    Materials:
    ● 5mm crochet hook
    ● Worsted weight yarn (about 200g)
    ● Polyester fiberfill
    ● Yarn needle

    (You can use whatever yarn and hook size you’d like, just be aware that it will change the size of
    the finished product. I used the materials above, and my plush measures 8 ½ inches long and 8
    inches tall.)

    Abbreviations:
    Sc = single crochet
    Inc = increase stitch
    Dec = decrease stitch

    (Pictures of the finished product can be found at the bottom of page 3.)

    Twist to form a dog shape as one would with a balloon

    Once twisted, you can sew the joints for extra stability if you want.

    Enjoy your new plush pet, or gift it to a friend or loved one. Happy crocheting!

    I can even
    stand up on
    my own!

    My first attempt at making this pattern.


    There are a few differences in proportion
    between this and the pattern above, as I was
    figuring it out as I went.

    Once completed your dog should look


    somewhat like this, but it won’t be exactly the
    same, and that’s ok. It’s the little differences
    that make our projects unique :)
