Why You'll Love This Spaniel in a Dog Bed Amigurumi Pattern

I absolutely love this pattern because it combines a small, collectible amigurumi with a sweet accessory — a cozy dog bed and pillow — that make the toy feel complete. I enjoy the subtle colorwork on the face which gives the spaniel so much personality while still using simple stitches. The step-by-step rounds and photos make assembly straightforward, and I love seeing how the separate pieces come together into one charming character. It is a satisfying project that balances quick rounds with thoughtful finishing touches.

Switch Things Up

I love experimenting with colors — I often swap the beige and pink areas for contrasting pastels to give the spaniel a totally new look.

I sometimes use a slightly thicker hook and bulkier yarn to make a chunkier, more cuddly version — just remember the bed will also grow in size.

I like to embroider different mouth and eyebrow shapes to change the expression; small adjustments make the personality pop.

I add tiny felt accessories like a collar or a felt bow for extra charm if I want a faster detail than crocheting small extras.

For a travel-sized version I use thinner yarn and a 1.75 mm hook and reduce stuffing for a flatter profile perfect for keychains.

I occasionally swap the 14 mm safety eyes for embroidered eyes for baby-safe toys, which also gives a softer look.

I sometimes add a loop to the headband so it can be removed and swapped with other miniature accessories I make.

To make a set, I change the dog bed colors and make two puppies with matching or contrasting beds for a playful display.

I like framing the spaniel on a small wooden plaque as a nursery decoration — you can sew the bed to the base for permanent display.

When giving as a gift I embroider the recipient's initial on the pillow as a personalized finishing touch.

Common Mistakes & How to Fix Them

✗ Skipping the row marker when starting rounds can cause you to lose track of the beginning of the round; place a stitch marker at the start of every round to keep consistent counts. ✗ Forgetting to change colors exactly where indicated in the face rows will make the jacquard section look uneven; follow rounds 9-12 of the head carefully and carry yarn neatly. ✗ Not stuffing gradually leads to lumps or overstuffed distorted shapes; stuff small amounts as you shape each part and adjust regularly for smooth contours. ✗ Attaching paws or tail without counting stitches may misplace limbs and distort symmetry; line up piece joins and count stitches before sewing or crocheting pieces together. ✗ Cutting yarn too short at the end of pieces makes sewing difficult; leave a long tail for sewing when instructed so you can securely join parts.

Assembly Instructions

  • Attach the head to the body by aligning the bottom of the head opening to the neck area and sew securely using the long tail left for sewing, making even stitches around the neck.
  • Sew the ears to the head on either side, aligning the inner light pink part to face inward and secure with small stitches so the ears hang naturally.
  • Position and join the paws and tail by matching the stitch counts where indicated in the body joins (rounds where you crocheted pieces together) and sew with invisible stitches for a neat finish.
  • Sew the dog bed side wall into a circle and then stitch it to the base, stuffing the side wall with fiberfill as you go to create a soft rim.
  • Place the pillow inside the bed and tie the headband around the head; embroider facial details (mouth, nose, eyebrows) before final placement for best control.

Important Notes

  • 💡Use a stitch marker to mark the first stitch of each round, especially during increases and when joining pieces together.
  • 💡Follow the jacquard instructions for rounds 9-12 on the head exactly and carry color yarns neatly to avoid loose floats on the inside.
  • 💡Insert the safety eyes between rounds 11-12 of the head at a distance of approximately 14-16 stitches for the correct expression and spacing.
