Cartoon Bulldog Amigurumi Free Pattern

Hello amigurumi lovers and beautiful visitors, I wanted to share the free amigurumi patterns for you here. In my article I will share 1 pattern and how to make it for you. At the end of my article, I will share amigurumi patterns that can generate ideas for you.

Additional Information:

Difficulty: Intermediate

• Getting started
This bulldog is so cute and you can make him either cartoony or a regular style, it just depends on how you do the eyes. I will show you how we can do both!
This bulldog is easy, however there are a lot of parts. If you prefer, you can make each part then pin them on once they are all made and sew them on once you’re happy with how they look!

• Also included
How we will do the popcorn stitch and color change for when we meet making the toes.

Bulldog

Let’s make the head!

This pattern will slightly differ if you want a cartoon bulldog or a regular bulldog. If you want a cartoon bulldog, don’t insert any safety eyes into the head! If you want a regular bulldog, insert 1 safety eye into any stitch in between Round 12 & 13. We will insert the other safety eye later.

Head:

In White

Round 27: *Dec, Sc 4* all around (30)
Finish off now, leaving a very long tail for sewing. We aren’t fully closing the head because we can sew it on as is to the body! Set the head aside for now.

Face Spot:

In Brown

Eye White for Regular Bulldog:

In White

Round 1: 6 Sc into a Magic Ring (6)
Round 2: *Inc* in each stitch all around (12)
Finish off, leaving a long tail for sewing. Place a 12mm safety eye into this piece, don’t secure yet. Place the eye on top of the brown face spot as shown and now secure the safety eye. Pin the eye on as shown and sew on.

Note: We will do the cartoon eyes later if you want to do those instead. Skip eye whites if doing cartoon eyes.

Ears: (Make 2)

Row 1: Ch 2, Sc in the 2nd ch from the hook (1)
Row 2: Turn, Ch 1, Sc 2 times in next st (2)

Top Mouth:

In White

To make the mouth mask we are making a foundation chain. This means we will make a chain, work down one side of the chain, turn to the other side where we haven’t made ANY stitches and crochet down that opposite side of chains. This will make a round.

Round 1: Ch 16. Sc 3 times into the 2nd Ch from the hook. Sc in the next 13 st. Now we meet the end of the chain. Turn the chain to the other side, where we haven’t made any stitches yet. Sc 3 times into the next st, Sc next 13 st (32)

Round 4: *Sc* in each stitch all around (44)
Finish off, leaving a very long tail for sewing. Fold the oval in half as shown. Place a 12mm safety nose in the middle of this oval as shown. Now bend the sides of the mouth as shown.

Pin the bent mouth onto the doll as shown. Specifically, the very top of the mouth on Round 14. The two bent sides should land on Round 20. Don’t sew on yet.

Round 1: Make a magic ring and Chain 2. Make 5 Dc into the magic ring and tighten the ring. SlSt to the very first Dc make to complete the tongue.

Head & Body Assembly:

Pin the head to the body. The head should be aimed more towards the front of the body so it looks like he’s sitting. Sew on with brown yarn!

Limbs:

We will be making a different limb for each of the 4 limbs.

In doing this we will also be making popcorn stitches for the toes. This is a guide to reference when doing the popcorn stitches, as we will also be changing color when completing a popcorn stitch.

Change color to pink to make the next toe. Make 3 Dc into the next stitch Take hook out of current stitch and place into the first Dc made Now also put hook into the current working loop

Yarn over with brown and pull through both loops at the same time When making your next single crochet in the next stitch, yarn over both loops in pink to complete the Sc and to start working in pink again!

Crocheting on top of a popcorn stitch:

Find the stitch behind the popcorn stitch. It should be pink Insert hook into that stitch Yarn over and pull up a loop.

Yarn over and pull through both loops
