Why You'll Love This Spaniel in a Dog Bed Amigurumi Pattern

I absolutely love this pattern because it brings a small, characterful dog to life with simple techniques and a lot of personality. I enjoy combining jacquard colorwork on the head with classic amigurumi shaping to get expressive markings without complicated charts. The small bed, pillow, and headband make this set feel like a complete gift-ready scene that I would display or give to friends. I love how the pattern balances straightforward rounds with assembly steps that really shape the final expression of the toy.

Switch Things Up

I love customizing this pattern by changing colors to create different dog breeds; swap the beige and brown for greys, tans, or black patches.

I often make a mini version by using thinner yarn and a smaller hook to create keychain-sized spaniels for gifts.

For a chunkier, more huggable toy, I use a bulkier yarn and larger hook to scale up the pattern while keeping the same stitch counts as guides.

I like adding embroidered freckles or different nose shapes to give each spaniel a unique personality and expression.

Try using safety joints for movable heads if you want a posable toy; I sometimes use a small safety joint between head and body for gentle rotation.

I customize the headband color and add tiny crochet bows, or replace it with a tiny scarf to change the look seasonally.

For display sets, I sometimes sew a small ribbon loop to the bed so it can hang as an ornament or be attached to a shelf.

I recommend experimenting with eye size; smaller eyes give a cuter, softer look while larger eyes make a more cartoony expression.

Try stuffing the bed sidewall more firmly for a structured look or less for a slouchy, cozy bed effect depending on the style you prefer.

I also enjoy making matching outfits—crochet a tiny sweater or blanket using the same yarn colors to create a coordinated set.

Common Mistakes & How to Fix Them

✗ Forgetting to place a row marker will make round counting difficult; place a marker at the start of every round to avoid losing track. ✗ Not stuffing gradually can cause lumps or misshapen limbs; add small amounts of fiberfill as you go and shape pieces while stuffing. ✗ Skipping the jacquard technique instructions between rounds 9-12 on the head will ruin the face markings; follow the color additions exactly and carry yarn neatly inside the work. ✗ Ignoring eye placement will affect the face expression and symmetry; insert safety eyes between rounds 11-12 spaced 14-16 stitches apart for correct alignment.

Assembly Instructions

  • Sew the head to the body aligning the centerline of the head with the top center of the body, using the long tail to whipstitch evenly around for a secure join.
  • Sew the ears to the head positioning them on each side of the head above the cheeks, matching the beige and light pink layers and securing with hidden stitches.
  • Attach paws to the body by following the join instructions in rounds 10 and 21 of the body: insert paw tops into the body openings and sew them firmly from the inside as you complete the rounds.
  • Sew the tail into the joining area indicated at round 8 of the body by aligning tail stitches with the body and stitching through both layers to secure.
  • Sew the side wall of the dog bed in a circle to the bottom (base) of the bed evenly, then weave in ends and close any gaps to keep stuffing contained.
  • Place and sew the pillow by joining the two crocheted pillow pieces, stuffing as you go, and close with neat whipstitching, then trim and hide ends.

Important Notes

  • 💡Use a stitch marker to mark the beginning of each round so you can maintain accurate stitch counts and shaping.
  • 💡Stuff pieces gradually and shape as you go; overstuffing can distort shaping while under-stuffing gives a floppy result.
  • 💡Insert safety eyes between rounds 11-12 and space them 14-16 stitches apart for the correct facial placement.
  • 💡Follow the jacquard technique instructions exactly from rounds 9 to 12 on the head, carrying the extra color neatly to avoid bumps.
  • 💡Leave long tails where indicated for sewing pieces together and weave in ends after assembly for a clean finish.

This delightful spaniel set includes a tiny dog, cozy bed, and little pillow — perfect for gifting or displaying. Handmade details like the jacquard face markings and tiny headband bring personality to every stitch. Enjoy creating this sweet scene and sharing the finished cuddly companion. 🧶🐶
