How to crochet Poodle fur

 This design was a special request from my 3 year old daughter, and fortunately
she was delighted with the outcome.

Crochet Poodle Equipment

To make your own crochet Poodle you will need the following crochet
equipment. I used Debbie Bliss Cotton Denim DK yarn to make my crochet
Poodle. You don’t need to use the exact same yarn, though I recommend using
one of the same weight if you would like to replicate it:

200g Debbie Bliss Cotton Denim DK Yarn in Cream

Size F / 3.75mm Crochet Hook Paid Link

Safety Eyes x 2 Paid Link

Small amount of brown DK yarn for the nose

Toy Stuffing Paid Link

Stitch Markers Paid Link

Yarn Needle Paid Link
:
 Yarn Cutter Paid Link

Crochet Poodle Pattern

Notes
This crochet poodle pattern uses just a few simple crochet techniques.

Magic circles
Chains (ch)

Single crochets (sc)

If you are new to crochet, check out a full guide to the basic stitches and

techniques here.

The total number of stitches in each round will be given at the end of the

instruction, in brackets. The hook I used is slightly smaller than Debbie Bliss
advice on the packaging. This is because I like my toys to be very tightly

stitched, so as not to expose any stuffing.

 Sewing Your Crochet Poodle
Together
You should now have the following complete parts for your Crochet Poodle

Head
Body

Ears x 2
Legs x 4
Tail

First attach the ears to the head. Poodle ears hang low. Using your steel yarn
needle and the same color yarn, sew the ears onto the top sides of the head,
hanging down to the chin.
:
 Then sew the tops of the legs onto the body, and the tail just above the

finishing circle of the body. The final row of 12 of the tail will give you the
space to secure it to the body. Using your yarn needle, finally sew any loose

strands of yarn back into the body of the dog to disguise them.

Crochet Poodle Fur

:
 Your crochet Poodle’s coat is made by crocheting a series of chains with slip
stitches. Joining each chain to the Poodle component.

How to Crochet a Magic Circle

Crochet Poodle Tail Fur

Your Crochet Poodle’s tail has a ball of fur at the end of it. This is made with a

series of chains.
:
 Begin by slip stitching into the first stitch of the magic circle that began

the tail.
Make a chain of 12 stitches.
Slip stitch into the next stitch around the magic circle.
Repeat around the tail, until you are approximately four rows down.

Crochet Poodle Head Fur

Your Crochet Poodle should have a Poodle style top-knot on top of her head.

This top knot should be created using chains, as the tail was. But these should

vary in length. Change the lengths randomly for a more natural effect. Make
:
 around 50% of them 20 chains long, and the other 50% 12 chains long.

Make the hair by chaining and slip stitching into each stitch as previously,

working into each stitch in the gap between the ears on top of the head.

Crochet Poodle Ear Fur

You can now crochet chains for fur onto your Poodle’s ears.

Start along the top of the ears where they join onto the head. Make chains
12 stitches long.
When you are seven rows down, make chains of 8 stitches.
Carry on for 8 rows, then swap to making chains of 5 stitches for the

remainder of the ear.

Crochet Poodle Ankle Fur

Finally you can crochet your Poodle’s fluffy ankles.

On each foot, count 10 rounds up from the magic circle at the base of the
foot.
Slip stitch into a stitch in the round, and chain 8. Slip stitch into the next
:
 stitch, then chain 8 again. Repeat for the length of a round, then increase
the chain count to 12.

Make chain loops for one further round, then slip stitch and tie off to
finish.

Crocheting Your Poodle’s

Coat
The most time consuming part of this pattern is the crochet Poodle’s fur. But
you can make as much or as little of this part as you like.

My daughter wanted a Poodle with the show style Poodle cut. Curly ears, top
knot, tail end and ankles. Everything else shaved short. But as I’m sure you
know, naturally Poodles have a glorious all-over curly coat. When you are
making your own Poodle, you can decide how much or little fur you would like
to crochet.

Hi Jolene, You will need 200g of yarn (two skeins) for this pattern. You won’t
:
 use it all, but will definitely need more than a single ball of yarn to complete
it. I hope you enjoy making him! Lucy x

I just love it, I want to make this for my girl too. The images are amazing,

Especially Baby girl with the poodle. Thanks for this detailed post, I have seen
many bloggers post designs. But all of them don’t provide the full info on How

to make it.

Why do u need to leave the top part of the leg with no stuffing

Reply

It allows the legs to bend, so you can sit or lay him down. If you want stiff
legs, then fill to the top. Hope this helps! Lucy

To print the pattern of the poodle, it would be 32 pages long. Is there a shorter

version of the pattern? There is a lot of wasted space on some of the pages, I
really want to make a black one and a white one, but don’t want to contend

with so many pages. If you can help I with really appreciate it. Thank you.

Hi Mary, I’m afraid I am not able to make PDF patterns at present. Personally

I work with online patterns directly from my computer or phone screen, so

avoid printing altogether. Maybe this is something you could try?

Alternatively I’m afraid pasting it into a Word document and adjusting the

spacing might be another option. Best wishes, Lucy
