All parts of this pattern are worked in the round. It is your choice whether to join your rounds or to work in a continuous spiral. I highly recommend a stitch marker (this can be a safety pin, a swivel clip keychain, or just a piece of scrap yarn) to keep track of your rows if you work in a spiral.

Dachshund’s Face
- For eyes, cut out 2 ovals from the white felt. Cut 2 circles that are about half the size of the white ovals from the black felt. Glue (Elmer’s glue or fabric glue is just fine) the white ovals to the face first, and then glue the black circles on top, like in photograph.
- For nose, use embroidery thread to do a satin stitch on the snout.

Aw this is a cute little weiner dog! You did such a nice job crocheting this. My friend's dog looks like this and this might be the perfect gift for her. Thanks for the pattern!

This is so cute! I'm going to have to make one for my daughter after I do a few toys for the grandkids! She has a miniature dauschund named Sariah that looks just like this one!
Just made one for my honey who was missing his family dog. I made it in all one color and it turned out great! Your instructions are very well done and easy to understand.

Hi.I finished my amigurumi out of your pattern,here is the link to my blog where i post it,http://deltazelta.blogspot.com/2011/11/amigurumi-black-puppy.html
Do you know the approx. size of your finished pup?
Could you please tell me what it means in the pattern to "2sctog"? I want to try to make this but have never heard that term. Thanks
@Wade-hi,i have made a puppy out of this pattern.As the blogger is not responding any comments or posts since long,i m going to take the liberty of answering your question."2Sctog" means making 2 sc into one,it is also called the decrease(search invisible decrease for amigurumi and your doubts will be cleared).Hope i helped.If you have further doubt you can ask me at my blog :)
Thank you Monali Mishra for your help. I was able tp get on the page and see how it is done! I appreciate your help!!
Hi guys! I apologize for this taking so long, I haven't been checking this blog often due to school and work. But thank you so much for the feedback!!! Monali I LOVE your version of the Dachshund, it came out so cute!!! You guys are awesome and inspiring... I feel some patterns coming on. =)
Does anyone know about how long this cute doggie is?
Thank you so much for sharing this pattern. I'm making it right now for my four years old
Your picture makes it look so much smaller than it is I started crocheting it and then half way through the body I knew it would be giant but I still kept on crocheting
I just finished row ten.
I just wanted to say thank you for the pattern. My sister has 2 basset hounds, a dachshund, and a lab. I adapted the colors for the basset hounds and made them the last two years. This year I am adapting it to make the Lab. This pattern has resulted in four years of gifts. By time I am done she will have the whole set. Thanks again!
i plan to make a few of these because my family is a BIG Dachshund fan! Specially my nana.

hi Lisa im making this little dog as a gift for a friend. the instructions are mainly fine and i've had no trouble making all the parts. i was just wondering if the head goes on the body open end down and the snout on the front of the head. you don't really give much detail about stuffing the body and legs and how its all sewn together. guess i'll have to just try and figure it out myself. i've done mine with grey body and white paws and snout. very cute little dog. thanks for the pattern x
Thank you for this wonderful pattern. excited to try my hand at it.
I love the pattern! I have modified it slightly by putting an opening on the back of the dog to hold our favorite plastic shopping bags. I used thick yarn to make the body sturdy. I did stuff the front half of the dog body. The doggy bag holder went to a dog salon :)
Hi what row would I put safety eyes on please help
