Adorable and easy

Finished my Poodle last night! I had never crocheted an amigurumi before, 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. Made it in a long car ride with a 4mm hook and Caron Simply Soft. I've bought Poodle patterns from three other shops and this is the only one I finished. The PDF arrived in my inbox before I'd even closed the tab. Highly recommend.

Finished, eventually

Okay pattern. Way better written than the free version I tried first. I left out the curly pom texture by accident and honestly it still looks cute. Took me a long car ride start to finish including sewing on the tail pom. It was for a 5th birthday party and it was the hit of the party. The tail pom instructions tripped me up and I had to frog it twice.

Looks just like the photo

Ok this is my new favorite pattern. I crochet on my breaks, and this one still taught me something. This is the kind of pattern I can make on repeat for markets. Perfect weekend project when you don't want to think too hard. Will be making this again.

My first amigurumi!

Cutest thing I've ever made. The proportions are spot on. The muzzle is the perfect size. The PDF is laid out so you can print just the pages you need. I printed it and checked off rows with a pencil. It went to myself, honestly and now the whole family wants one. Great TV-watching project.

Okay for the price

Cute end result, frustrating middle. I crochet a few evenings a week and this was perfect for me. 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. Took me two sittings start to finish including sewing on the curly pom texture. My husband (he loves them) squealed. Mission accomplished. I usually have to rewrite patterns in my own notes. Not this one. The stitch count on one round of the tail pom didn't match for me (could be my error).

Fiona Ortiz
Stitch counts on every row!

Could not be happier with this. I make these for my Etsy shop and this was perfect for me. The topknot is worked in one piece, which means less sewing. Thank you!! Emailed a question about the curly pom texture and got a friendly reply the same day. I'd forgotten how fun amigurumi is. Did the curly pom texture in a contrasting color, highly recommend.

Good value, a few notes. I'm left-handed and usually struggle with patterns, 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. The PDF arrived in my inbox before I'd even closed the tab. The proportions are spot on. The muzzle is the perfect size. I added a little scarf and it looks even cuter. A left-handed note would've been nice, but I figured it out.

Cute but fiddly

It's fine. I made it in a 3.5mm hook and the tail pom still came out crisp. I added a little scarf and it looks even cuter. Big readable font, nothing crammed, and the stitch counts actually add up (I checked every single one). Way better written than the free version I tried first. The stitch count on one round of the muzzle didn't match for me (could be my error).

Easiest pattern I've bought in a long time. Compared to the ones on Etsy this was cheaper and clearer. I made it in some hand-dyed merino I'd been saving and the tail pom still came out crisp.

Stitch counts on every row!

10/10 would crochet again. Compared to the ones on Etsy this was cheaper and clearer. I'd forgotten how fun amigurumi is. It went to my grandson and now the whole family wants one. The proportions are spot on. The curly pom texture is the perfect size. Can't wait for more from this shop.

Great, minor notes

Solid pattern. It even lists how much yarn you'll need in yards, which saved me from a mid-project yarn run. Went up to bulky yarn and now it's a full-on pillow. It was for my boyfriend and it was the hit of the party. Way better written than the free version I tried first. Took me longer than I expected, but that's probably on me. Would still buy again.

Bought it at 11pm, finished by 2am, no regrets. Did the tail pom in a contrasting color, highly recommend. 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. The tail pom and the curly pom texture are what make it look like an actual Poodle instead of a blob.

Kimberly Garcia
Decent

Okay pattern. I now own six of their patterns. Zero duds. I liked that the color changes for the topknot are spelled out instead of just 'switch colors here'. It's the first thing I've finished in months and that feels good. It actually looks like the photo, which is rare for me. Finished it, it's cute, but assembly was more frustrating than fun.

Cutest Poodle ever

Bought it at 11pm, finished by 2am, no regrets. Emailed a question about the muzzle and got a friendly reply the same day. The shaping on the curly pom texture is clever. Didn't expect that from a 'beginner' pattern. I usually have to rewrite patterns in my own notes. Not this one. It even lists how much yarn you'll need in yards, which saved me from a mid-project yarn run. Go get it.

Cute end result, frustrating middle. This one's for a Secret Santa. Already planning the next one. The photos are good but there aren't enough of them for the tail pom.

This was a joy to make. I swapped the colors to match my team and it still worked perfectly. Used bulky yarn to make it extra big and it came out roughly 8 inches. Great for beginners, fun for everyone else.

Baby shower hit

Absolutely adorable. Instructions are short and direct. No life story at the top, just the pattern. My Poodle came out perfect toddler size using Paintbox cotton. Already eyeing the other animals.

So cute!

Absolutely adorable. The photos for the assembly step are what sold me. No guessing where the muzzle goes. Made a mini version with thinner yarn and the proportions held up. This one's for my boyfriend. Already planning the next one. Quick enough that I can price the finished ones reasonably.

Nearly perfect

Nearly five stars. Crochet is my anxiety outlet and I had no trouble at all. I usually have to rewrite patterns in my own notes. Not this one. It's the first thing I've finished in months and that feels good. My Poodle came out about 6 inches tall using a 3.5mm hook. My wife squealed. Mission accomplished. Only thing: I wish there was a video for attaching the tail pom.

Cute result, took a little fiddling. I crochet a few evenings a week so I was nervous, but it went fine. I'd forgotten how fun amigurumi is. The shaping on the curly pom texture is clever. Didn't expect that from a 'beginner' pattern. Pages printed a little small on my printer. Zoomed in on my tablet instead.

Quick and satisfying

I screamed a little when I finished the face. My Poodle came out perfect toddler size using leftover scraps. Clear US terms, abbreviations listed up front, no weird jargon.
