Sparky dog

To crochet a Sparky dog, you’ll need the following materials:

1. Yarn: Choose the color you prefer for Sparky’s fur. You can use any type of yarn, but medium weight (worsted) yarn is commonly used for amigurumi projects.
2. Crochet hook: Select a hook size appropriate for your chosen yarn. Check the yarn label for the recommended hook size or use a hook that gives you a tight stitch.
3. Stuffing: Polyester fiberfill or any stuffing material of your choice.
4. Safety eyes or buttons: These will be used for Sparky’s eyes. Make sure they are appropriate for amigurumi and securely attachable.
5. Yarn needle: For sewing and weaving in ends.

   Once you have all your materials ready, you can follow these general instructions to crochet a Sparky dog:

   1. Head:
      • Begin with a magic ring (or chain 2 and work in the second chain from the hook).
      • Crochet 6 single crochet stitches (sc) into the magic ring (or second chain from hook).
      • Pull the ring tight to close.
      • Continue working in a spiral, crocheting 2 sc into each stitch from the previous round. This will increase the stitch count to 12.
      • Crochet 1 sc in the next stitch, then 2 sc in the next. Repeat this pattern around the circle. This will increase the stitch count to 18.
      • Repeat the pattern, increasing every 3rd stitch by 1 sc until you have the desired head size. The number of stitches in each increase round will depend on how large you want your Sparky dog to be.
      • Once the head is the desired size, crochet several rounds of even single crochet stitches without increasing to form the neck.
