Sharing is caring!

During the summer, while away with my kids, I was very fortunate to have friends step up and dog-sit Barry for us. One such family had two daughters who loved Barry to pieces. As a thank you, I came up with a Barry Westie amigurumi pattern to give as a token of thanks.

This is a very basic, simple design that focuses mainly primarily on the face of Barry but it is still complete with a body.

For this pattern you will need:

• white yarn (I used Impeccable and Red Heart Soft but any category 4 weight yarn will do)
• 3.5 mm hook (you can go smaller, it will just result in a smaller end product; and vice versa)
• safety eyes – 9mm, black
• safety nose – these are triangular in shape; I got mine at Daiso but in a pinch another safety eye will work too
• stitch marker – this pattern is done in rounds and you will need to mark the beginning of each row in order to keep track
• needle for sewing
• stuffing

Abbreviations

• sc – single crochet
• 2sc – work 2 single crochets into the same stitch
• dec – single crochet 2 stitches together
• 3 dec – single crochet 3 stitches together
• sl st – slip stitch
