Crochet Dalmatian Dog Pattern - Repeat Crafter Me (2024)

I had the urge to create another puppy hat but wanted to try different “mouth” design. And since I came across this black polka dotted shirt in a bag of hand-me-downs for my daughter, I just had to make a Dalmatian Dog to match 🙂

The basic pattern is the same as my Puppy Hat Pattern but I will post it again just so the complete pattern is in one spot. I did alter the ears and the mouth/nose portion.

Materials:

– Worsted weight yarn in black and white (and a little bit of pink)

– Two black buttons for eyes (about a 1/2 inch) and a larger white button.
– Crochet hook size H-8 (5.0 mm)

– Tapestry needle

Sew the tongue on first then the cheeks slightly overlapping the tongue. Then the nose overlapping the cheeks. before you weave in the end to the nose, make a little line with it running from the nose to the tongue.

Spots:
You want them to look like lopsided/lumpy circles so don’t worry too much about correct stitch count. I made a bunch in different shapes by following this pattern but stopping my round early and leaving off parts of these patterns. Feel free to make up your own.

Using a smaller hook (like a G hook)
