Easy Amigurumi Dachshund Crochet Pattern - Beginner Friendly (PDF Download)

Absolutely adorable. Great TV-watching project. Will be making this again.

Ok this is my new favorite pattern. This one's for my dog-obsessed sister. Already planning the next one. I'd forgotten how fun amigurumi is. Would give six stars if I could.

Love love love this pattern. I've been crocheting for 30+ years so I was nervous, but it went fine. Instructions are short and direct. No life story at the top, just the pattern. I added a little scarf and it looks even cuter.

Perfect from start to finish. I left out the floppy ears by accident and honestly it still looks cute. The long body is worked in one piece, which means less sewing. Thank you!! It actually looks like the photo, which is rare for me. I've bought Dachshund patterns from three other shops and this is the only one I finished. Go get it.

Could not be happier with this. I appreciated the note about stuffing the short legs firmly before closing. Made a difference. Took me a weekend start to finish including sewing on the long body.

Great pattern, not quite perfect. The tail is worked in one piece, which means less sewing. Thank you!! Used leftover scraps and it came out a chunky 10 inches with bulky yarn. I'd love a yardage estimate per color, not just total.

Good value, a few notes. This got me out of a crochet slump. I made it in Hobby Lobby I Love This Yarn and the long body still came out crisp. Only thing: I wish there was a video for attaching the tail.

I rarely leave reviews but this earned one. This was my very first amigurumi and I had no trouble at all. Crocheting this was honestly relaxing. There's a picture for every tricky part, including how to attach the floppy ears.

I've already made three of these. I make toys for the children's ward so I was nervous, but it went fine. The shaping on the tail is clever. Didn't expect that from a 'beginner' pattern. Compared to the ones on Etsy this was cheaper and clearer. Made two: one for a church bazaar and one that is NOT leaving my house. Written for a real beginner. If you can do a magic ring, sc, inc and dec, you can make this.

So happy with how my Dachshund turned out. I'm a grandma of six and I had no trouble at all. The short legs is worked in one piece, which means less sewing. Thank you!! My Dachshund came out palm-sized using sock yarn and a 2mm hook for a mini version. Can't wait for more from this shop.

Mixed feelings. I now own six of their patterns. Zero duds. The floppy ears instructions tripped me up and I had to frog it twice.

This pattern made me feel like I actually know what I'm doing. Every round has a stitch count. That alone makes this better than half the patterns I've paid for. Great for beginners, fun for everyone else.

Good value, a few notes. I left out the tail by accident and honestly it still looks cute. This got me out of a crochet slump. It actually looks like the photo, which is rare for me. The pattern tells you exactly how far apart to put the safety eyes, which is the step I always ruin. Took me longer than I expected, but that's probably on me. Still recommend.

My Dachshund is sitting on my desk right now and I can't stop smiling at it. The instructions are written round by round with stitch counts at the end of every row, so I always knew if I'd messed up. This one's for my grandson. Already planning the next one. I left out the short legs by accident and honestly it still looks cute. Emailed a question about the long body and got a friendly reply the same day. Thanks for a great pattern!

Perfect from start to finish. It went to a coworker's baby shower and now the whole family wants one. Emailed a question about the floppy ears and got a friendly reply the same day. Highly recommend.

Worth every penny. It was for my daughter and it was the hit of the party. Written for a real beginner. If you can do a magic ring, sc, inc and dec, you can make this. Already eyeing the other animals.

Hands down the best Dachshund pattern out there. I sell at craft fairs, and this one still taught me something. Used worsted acrylic from my stash and it came out about 6 inches tall. My Etsy shop squealed. Mission accomplished. Very satisfying little project. I checked and the shop allows selling finished items, which is why I bought it. Zero complaints.

This was a joy to make. I'm getting back into crochet after 20 years, and this one still taught me something. Made two: one for a Secret Santa and one that is NOT leaving my house. Customers at my booth keep asking which one is the Dachshund. I made it in Hobby Lobby I Love This Yarn and the long body still came out crisp. Compared to the ones on Etsy this was cheaper and clearer. Zero complaints.

This was a joy to make. I crochet between classes, and this one still taught me something. Clear US terms, abbreviations listed up front, no weird jargon. I left out the long body by accident and honestly it still looks cute. Second pattern I've bought from Willis and both were great. Used chunky chenille and it came out a chunky 10 inches with bulky yarn. Already eyeing the other animals.

This was a joy to make. The proportions are spot on. The short legs is the perfect size. Went up to bulky yarn and now it's a full-on pillow.

Cute result, took a little fiddling. I make these for my Etsy shop, and this one still taught me something. The floppy ears and the tail are what make it look like an actual Dachshund instead of a blob. Written for a real beginner. If you can do a magic ring, sc, inc and dec, you can make this. Compared to the ones on Etsy this was cheaper and clearer. Made it for the nursing home craft table and they have not put it down since. A left-handed note would've been nice, but I figured it out. Would still buy again.

Really nice pattern with one small gripe. I've been crocheting for 30+ years so I was nervous, but it went fine. I swapped the colors to match my team and it still worked perfectly. The short legs and the tail are what make it look like an actual Dachshund instead of a blob. Only thing: I wish there was a video for attaching the short legs. Still recommend.

Yes. Just yes. I make toys for the children's ward and this was perfect for me. It even lists how much yarn you'll need in yards, which saved me from a mid-project yarn run. My Dachshund came out bigger than I expected using sock yarn and a 2mm hook for a mini version. It's the first thing I've finished in months and that feels good. Quick enough that I can price the finished ones reasonably. Thanks for a great pattern!

Bought it at 11pm, finished by 2am, no regrets. I make toys for the children's ward, and this one still taught me something. The pattern tells you exactly how far apart to put the safety eyes, which is the step I always ruin. Emailed a question about the long body and got a friendly reply the same day.

Finished my Dachshund last night! Crochet is my anxiety outlet and this was perfect for me. Crocheting this was honestly relaxing. The proportions are spot on. The tail is the perfect size.

This pattern made me feel like I actually know what I'm doing. It's the first thing I've finished in months and that feels good. If you're on the fence, buy it.

Not bad, not amazing. Made it in about 4 hours with Paintbox cotton. The photos are good but there aren't enough of them for the tail.

Okay WOW. The long body and the floppy ears are what make it look like an actual Dachshund instead of a blob. Chef's kiss.

Happy overall. I'd forgotten how fun amigurumi is. The first round of the floppy ears was a bit confusing until I reread it.
