This darling doggy is a cute addition to my animal alphabet but I think he would look great all by himself in the corner of a little crochet blanket. Pair it with my Crochet Puppy Hat for the perfect baby gift!

Wow, this is a cute little dog. I now know already that this will be one of my favorite appliques to use on cushions, blankets, hats and so on. Thank you for designing and sharing this pattern.
Love, Margaret
Just love it, going to make it now and hang it over the bouncer net for my grandson.
Can you tell me how to make the dog applique larger?
I used your pattern. I really like it, it is so cute and simple to make.
Sarah,
I just wanted to let you know how much I enjoyed learning from you.
I just wondered the size of this when finished? I am going to use it on a Christmas sock i am making for my puppy and want to sew it on each side of it. Thanks, just wondered in case i need to change the hook size. I am refering to the D is for dog pattern,
