Easiest pattern I've bought in a long time. I'm newly retired and finally have time and I had no trouble at all. Way better written than the free version I tried first. It went to my son's nursery and now the whole family wants one. Perfect gift pattern.

No frogging needed

Absolutely adorable. Big readable font, nothing crammed, and the stitch counts actually add up (I checked every single one).

Good pattern

Cute result, took a little fiddling. Customers at my booth keep asking which one is the Chocolate Labrador. Made two: one for my husband (he loves them) and one that is NOT leaving my house. A left-handed note would've been nice, but I figured it out.

Worth every penny. I'm getting back into crochet after 20 years and I had no trouble at all. Made it for a Secret Santa and they have not put it down since. Big readable font, nothing crammed, and the stitch counts actually add up (I checked every single one). Already eyeing the other animals.

Love it

Absolutely adorable. I make these for my Etsy shop and I had no trouble at all. Made it in a weekend with some hand-dyed merino I'd been saving. I left out the muzzle by accident and honestly it still looks cute. The tail is worked in one piece, which means less sewing. Thank you!! Great TV-watching project. Great for beginners, fun for everyone else.

So well written

My Chocolate Labrador is sitting on my desk right now and I can't stop smiling at it. I make these for my Etsy shop and I had no trouble at all. This one's for my husband (he loves them). Already planning the next one. Made it in two nights with Red Heart Super Saver. Quick enough that I can price the finished ones reasonably. There's a picture for every tricky part, including how to attach the tail.

Best Chocolate Labrador pattern

This Chocolate Labrador came out SO cute. I'm 15 and taught myself from YouTube so I was nervous, but it went fine. Instructions are short and direct. No life story at the top, just the pattern. Finished in a rainy afternoon. The chunky body is my favorite part. Added a keychain loop to the top, now it lives on my bag. Very satisfying little project. Already eyeing the other animals.

Fun weekend make

Easiest pattern I've bought in a long time. I'm a grandma of six so I was nervous, but it went fine. The tail is worked in one piece, which means less sewing. Thank you!! Checkout was easy and the file was in my email in seconds. Adding the bundle to my cart as I type this.

Nearly perfect

Solid pattern. Instructions are short and direct. No life story at the top, just the pattern. The first round of the floppy ears was a bit confusing until I reread it. Four solid stars.

Clear and easy

Easiest pattern I've bought in a long time. My Chocolate Labrador came out bigger than I expected using leftover scraps.

No frogging needed

This pattern made me feel like I actually know what I'm doing. Skipped the safety eyes and embroidered them for a baby-safe version. Pattern made that easy. Will be making this again.

Easiest pattern I've bought in a long time. Compared to the ones on Etsy this was cheaper and clearer. Zero complaints.

Cute but fiddly

Okay pattern. I checked and the shop allows selling finished items, which is why I bought it. I expected more hand-holding for a 'beginner' pattern on the tail section.

Good value

Really nice pattern with one small gripe. My Chocolate Labrador came out perfect toddler size using chunky chenille. This one's for my twin nephews. Already planning the next one. Pages printed a little small on my printer. Zoomed in on my tablet instead.

Great, minor notes

Happy overall. There's a picture for every tricky part, including how to attach the tail. The chunky body instructions could use one more photo.

Adorable and easy

This Chocolate Labrador came out SO cute. It was for my book club swap and it was the hit of the party. Checkout was easy and the file was in my email in seconds. My Chocolate Labrador came out a chunky 10 inches with bulky yarn using bulky yarn to make it extra big. Great TV-watching project. Thanks for a great pattern!

Needs a video

Okay pattern. I crochet a few evenings a week and I had no trouble at all. I used a slightly bigger hook so it'd be huggable and it came out great. Crocheting this was honestly relaxing. I made it in a 4mm hook and Caron Simply Soft and the tail still came out crisp. The PDF arrived in my inbox before I'd even closed the tab. The photos are good but there aren't enough of them for the muzzle.

I screamed a little when I finished the face. Made it for myself, honestly and they have not put it down since. Highly recommend.

Yes. Just yes. I'd forgotten how fun amigurumi is. Skipped the safety eyes and embroidered them for a baby-safe version. Pattern made that easy. Buying the whole set next.

Cute with a tricky floppy ears

Cute result, took a little fiddling. I'm newly retired and finally have time so I was nervous, but it went fine. This is the kind of pattern I can make on repeat for markets. Went up to bulky yarn and now it's a full-on pillow. My Chocolate Labrador came out small enough for a keychain using a 4mm hook and Caron Simply Soft. Written for a real beginner. If you can do a magic ring, sc, inc and dec, you can make this. Wish it came with a two-color variation, but easy to improvise. Still recommend.

Happy with it

Liked it a lot. Gave it to a teacher appreciation gift. I've been asked for four more. It even lists how much yarn you'll need in yards, which saved me from a mid-project yarn run. Sewing on the muzzle took longer than the whole body, but that's amigurumi. Four solid stars.

R
Raj Price
Happy with it

Good pattern, would recommend with a caveat. I usually have to rewrite patterns in my own notes. Not this one. Very satisfying little project. Only thing: I wish there was a video for attaching the muzzle. Still recommend.

Can't stop making these

Ok this is my new favorite pattern. I sell at craft fairs so I was nervous, but it went fine. A NICU donation drive squealed. Mission accomplished. Clear US terms, abbreviations listed up front, no weird jargon. Download link came through instantly after checkout. The tail and the chunky body are what make it look like an actual Chocolate Labrador instead of a blob. Can't wait for more from this shop.

Great pattern

This was a joy to make. I crochet a few evenings a week, and this one still taught me something. I liked that the color changes for the floppy ears are spelled out instead of just 'switch colors here'. I left out the tail by accident and honestly it still looks cute. Took me one evening start to finish including sewing on the floppy ears. Made two: one for a 5th birthday party and one that is NOT leaving my house. Buying the whole set next.

Yes. Just yes. The PDF arrived in my inbox before I'd even closed the tab. Perfect weekend project when you don't want to think too hard. Made it in about 4 hours with Lion Brand Pound of Love. I usually have to rewrite patterns in my own notes. Not this one. Thanks for a great pattern!

Great pattern

Could not be happier with this. I had never crocheted an amigurumi before and I had no trouble at all. The proportions are spot on. The floppy ears is the perfect size. Every round has a stitch count. That alone makes this better than half the patterns I've paid for. Will be making this again.
