Petey Pug Puppy (Free Crochet Pattern)
I find pugs to be adorably and oddly charming, and I'm quite certain I'm not alone! There's not a single animal lover I know who doesn't think, "awww!" when they see these cute, wrinkly-faced critters! Thus, I've designed this little puggle, whom I've named Petey! (Yes, for alliteration purposes, this pug puppy's name had to start with a P!)
If you're a pug lover or know of someone who is, this little guy can surely be a great addition to have! I'm sure he'd lighten up any office desk, bedroom, or softie collection!
Please find the free & original Sweet Softies crochet pattern below. Happy crocheting!
Note: The heart pattern is free and from K and J Dolls Blog. (I wish I knew how to make a smaller heart, though, because it would be cute to see Petey holding the heart between his paws!)
