In this collection of 35 adorable patterns, Barbara Donovan shows you how to crochet dog-themed projects that are so lifelike they look as though they’re about to roll over and bark!

The first chapter includes Barbara’s trademark cushions, including an adorable Husky and a fluffy Bichon Frise. Next, make beautiful accessories such as a Shih Tzu handbag and a Labradoodle clutch.

Add personality to your living space with homewares such as a Sausage Dog draught excluder, Poodle doorstops and a Terrier wall hanging. Finally, there’s a chapter of cuddly dogs that are perfect for displaying or giving as gifts, from a Chihuahua nutcracker doll to a Spaniel teddy and a Yorkshire Terrier.

By using deceptively simple skills to create yarn ‘fur’, you’ll be amazed by how easy it is to create these realistic-looking projects. You can even change the yarn colours to match your own best friend.
