How to Crochet Puppy (Instructions With Pattern)

Like any other crochet pattern, this Puppy pattern has been written using abbreviations instead of full names. Check out the meaning for each so that you may crochet this puppy accordingly:

Abbreviations

Abbreviations are a nice way to reduce the size of a crochet pattern. Below are the full names for the short terms used in the crochet puppy pattern:

Rnd: round
Sc: single crochet
Dec: This abbreviation means “decrease,” referring to a method where you crochet stitches together to reduce the number of stitches in your project.
Inc: Short for “increase,” this is when you make more than one stitch into the same stitch space, thus enlarging the work.
MR: “Magic ring” is a technique used to start crocheting in the round by creating a loop and then crocheting the first round of stitches into that loop.
sl st: This means “slip stitch.” It’s a simple stitch that creates a small, flat stitch used to join rounds or can be worked along to move your yarn without adding height to your project.
