Earlier I shared 10 Free Crochet Patterns for Dog Lovers – and now it’s time for things the dogs themselves can enjoy! Remember – dogs are all different, and not every toy will be appropriate for every dog. Stuffed toys in particular require supervision – or just try leaving them unstuffed, like the flat ones you see in stores. I know my pooch enjoys those too! And if you don’t have a dog on your gift list, some of these would also be popular with kids!

Ahhhh, my pooch would chew threw all of the above, she is a big girl. I love to browse however, pretty sad that I’m dreaming for my dog!! 🙂
Tamara Kelly
Mine would too, but I got so many requests I figure there must be some milder-mannered dogs out there lol. Plus the stocking and bags holder works for everyone! 🙂
Kristen Smith
Hehe…you should have seen the learning curve my poor girl had when we started spinning yarn! With all the fluffy looking skeins of yarn around the house she totally thought she had hit the jackpot for doggie toys. Took about a week before she figured out not to touch those puffs LOL.
Tamara Kelly
Oh I bet! 😀
Pam Gordon
Have u consider twine not yarn? Might work
Tamara Kelly
Thank you Pam!

My little miss dog may be small but she loves her toys. She will eviserate these toys almost before they hit the floor. She has so much joy playing with the toys I make her that I will crochet these up and wait for the joy to begin.
Laural Buckner
Thank you for the free dog ball pattern/ Would there be a page for some of the abbreviations I can’t figure out.

Finally, a poop bag that isn’t ugly or doesn’t way down the leash when walking the dog! When I don’t have pockets in my pants it’s a hassle to keep track of the bags. I’m making this today. Thanks for all your great patterns, and instructions!
Tamara Kelly
I’m so glad you like them, thank you Elaine!

The link to the Go Green Recycled Crinkle Dog Toy doesn’t take you to the toy but to a yarn vending page. Is this pattern still available? My pooch would love it.
Tamara Kelly
