About This Beagle Dog Amigurumi Pattern

This pattern creates a small Beagle dog amigurumi with separate pieces for the head/body, ears, front legs, paws, tail and muzzle. It uses simple shaping techniques, bobble stitches for paws, and surface slip stitches for decorative lines. The pattern includes instructions for making a reversible toy or a single closed toy with a flat base.

Worked in continuous spiral rounds, this pattern uses 4-ply/cotton-blend yarn and a small hook to create a dense, plush texture. Detailed assembly notes and finishing tips are included so you can get professional results.

Why You'll Love This Beagle Dog Amigurumi Pattern

I absolutely love this pattern because it captures the personality of a Beagle in a compact, huggable form that is fun to make. I enjoy the rhythm of working the rounds and the small shaping details that bring the face and paws to life. The bobble-paw technique is one of my favorite finishing touches — it adds character with minimal fuss. Making it reversible or customizing colors is very satisfying and gives you lots of creative freedom. I always find the assembly step rewarding when the little features come together into a finished toy.

Switch Things Up

I love how easy it is to customize this pattern by changing colors — try pastel tones for a softer look or bold color blocks for a playful pup.

Want a bigger version? Use a thicker yarn and a larger hook; bulky yarn will create a chunkier, cuddlier dog in minutes.

For a tiny keychain, use thinner yarn and a smaller hook to make a mini version that fits in the palm of your hand.

I often add embroidered eyebrows or freckles to change the dog’s expression and personality — it makes each amigurumi unique.

Add tiny crocheted accessories like a scarf, bow, or collar charm to give your pup extra character and personality.

Try substituting the bobble paw centers with tiny felt circles for a different texture and easier colorwork.

If you want a reversible toy, follow the note and leave the long tail for joining two bodies — you can pair any two colorways for a reversible set.

I sometimes stuff a little less for a softer, floppy look or slightly more for a firm, decorative piece — adjust stuffing to suit the finish you prefer.

For more durability, sew a cardboard disk inside the base for a stable standing toy, especially if the toy will be displayed on a shelf.

I also like to experiment with surface slip stitches to add stripes or spots — they are quick and add lovely detail with minimal effort.

Common Mistakes & How to Fix Them

✗ Skipping stitch markers at the beginning of rounds can cause you to lose track of the start point; place and move a marker at the first stitch of each round to stay aligned. ✗ Changing colors using tapestry technique without care can tighten stitches and warp shaping; cut and start with a new yarn tail each time you change color to keep rows even. ✗ Under-stuffing the muzzle and head will make the shape collapse; stuff gradually and evenly, adding small amounts until you get a smooth, firm shape. ✗ Forgetting to count stitch totals after increases or decreases causes uneven shaping; count your stitches at the end of each round and correct any mistakes immediately.

— Tips :

Info :

This pattern is for making a single dog amigurumi, but you can make a reversible one by joining it with another dog amigurumi. Read the instruction for joining the reversible amigurumi.

Info :

Try working tight stitches. Use a smaller crochet hook for better result.

Infos :

Important notes: Do not work too tight, so the plushie is still stretchable. Work every part using the same stitch tension. Count your stitches. Use a stitch marker or a piece of yarn to mark beginning/ending of the round. Each round is worked in a continuous spiral. Do not join rounds with slip stitch or turn unless stated otherwise. Crochet through both loops unless stated otherwise. It is highly recommended that you read through the pattern completely before beginning to crochet.

— Material :

Info :

2.0 mm hook or size suitable for yarn used. Tapestry needle, embroidery needle. Fiberfill for stuffing. Yarn in the same size (I used 4 ply, cotton blend yarn) in the following colors: brown, white, peach, black, yellow, red. Scissors.

— Abbreviations :

Info :

This pattern is written in US Standard Crochet Terms, and assumes knowledge of basic stitches. R = row/round. MR = magic ring. st = stitch/stitches. sc = single crochet. inc = sc increase (2 sc in the same st). inc3 = 3 sc in the same st. dec = sc decrease (crochet 2 st together) TIP: Use invisible decrease for better finish. ch = chain. sl st = slip stitch. FL = Front loop/loops. BL = Back loop/loops. BLO = BL only. FLO = FL only. [____] = repeat sequence between the square brackets for the indicated number of times. (__) = stitch count at the end of the row/round.

— Dimension :

Info :

The size will vary, depending on the yarn used. If you use the same materials as me, the finished amigurumi is about 6 cm (2.4") tall.

— Special Stitches :

Info :

Invisible Finish: After completing the last st, cut the yarn and pull on the loop to draw the tail. Using the tapestry needle, skip the next st, and insert the needle from front to back, under both loops. Go back to the last st, and insert the needle through the back loop of this st. Pull on the tail.

Info :

Sewing/Joining Flat Pieces: Starting on the first piece, insert your needle under a crocheted stitch, from back to front to back. On the corresponding stitch on the second piece, insert the needle from front to back to front under the stitch, horizontally.

Info :

Crochet Surface Slip Stitches: Insert hook into crocheted fabric from the front to the back. Keeping the yarn at the back, pull up a loop. Insert hook in the next spot specified, from front to back. And pull up a loop through the fabric and through the loop on the hook. Repeat as instructed to make the surface chain.

Info :

Bobble stitches: In this pattern, a bobble stitch is made by working 3 incomplete double crochet st in the same st, and joining them together at the top. 1. Yarn over and pull through (three loops on the hook), yarn over and pull through 2 of the loops. 2. Repeat the first step 2 more times so you have 4 loops on the hook. 3. Yarn over and pull through all 4 loops to close your bobble stitch. 4. Make a sl st at the next st.

— Head and Body :

Info :

Start with brown yarn. Leave a long starting yarn tail, approximately 10 cm (4"). This tail will be used to join 2 dogs to make a reversible amigurumi.

Assembly Instructions

  • Attach the muzzle (bowl shaped) on the head between R11-13, and the flap (flat part at the top of the muzzle) between R8-10; stuff the muzzle lightly with fiberfill and sew securely.
  • Position and attach the ears with the top located between R4-5; tack them in a few spots to fix the position and maintain the forward-bending shape.
  • Sew the front legs to the body between R16-22, tilting them slightly forward for a natural seated pose and securing firmly with matching yarn.
  • Attach the paws on the body between R18-22, directly beside the front legs, and embroider paw details on each bobble using the black tail.
  • Sew the tail at the back of the body between R21-22 and finish with invisible finish to hide the ends.
  • Embroider the eyes at R10 (one stitch apart from the muzzle), embroider nose and mouth on the muzzle with black yarn, and attach the tongue under the muzzle flap.

Important Notes

  • 💡Work tight stitches for a plush, non-see-through fabric but not so tight that the toy loses stretch; maintain consistent tension for best results.
  • 💡Use stitch markers to mark the beginning of each round since the pattern is worked in a continuous spiral unless otherwise noted.
  • 💡When changing colors for reversible work, cut and start with a new yarn tail each time to avoid tightening rounds; tapestry technique is not recommended for reversible amigurumi.
  • 💡Weave in ends as you go when possible and stuff gradually to shape the toy evenly without overstuffing.
