A friend over at Crochetville asked me for chart of this animal because although he loves dogs, his apartment rules don't allow the canine companion.

This graph is 60 squares wide x 80 squares high and will make a rectangular piece if worked in sc with an H hook and worsted weight yarn, such as Red Heart Super Saver or Caron Pounder. Use the dc or extended double crochet for a throw sized afghan.

I Love My Boston Terrier Crochet Chart or Graph

Tony and his lover went on a cruise and asked if I would take care of Moishe and Sadie for 10 days. Of course! I love doggys and they were so darned cute! By the third day I was ready to mail them to Carnival Cruise Lines! For some reason they liked to tinkle on a big over-sized man chair in my parlor!All Things Boston Terrier Right Here!

I Love My Pug Crochet Chart or Graph!

There is mystery surrounding the origins of the Pug. They are an ancient breed and was probably first developed in the Far East. The Pug is the original Foo dog. Happy little guys, they love to eat! Pugs can easily turn into Pigs if they are overindulged. Every Pug,or Pug mix like the Puggle (half Pug half Beagle), that I've met has totally charmed the dickens off me!

I once met Altovise Davis, wife of Sammy Davis Jr. when she was staying in Philadelphia a few years ago. She has Pugs! They are not the fawn and black that we know but the rarer solid black ones. They were just darling!

One of my friends over at Crochetville requested a Pug chart for a friend going through a bad spell. I hope this will perk up her spirits!

I Love My Corgi Crochet Chart or Graph!

My lawyer has 2 Corgis in her office, Emmet and his son, Fitzpatrick. They like climbing up on her conference desk and are generally a very comical duo. The short little legs fascinate me!

The Pembroke Welsh Corgi is a long, low dog with large erect ears, a broad flat skull and a fox-like head. The tail is almost non-existent. Although there is a variety called the Cardigan that has a long tail.

The breed is hardy, highly intelligent, obedient, protective and devoted. Corgis are usually good with considerate children. They make fine guards, and excellent show and obedience dogs.

I Love My Husky Crochet Graph or Chart

For my next graph, I present to you the strikingly beautiful, Siberian Husky.
With it's striking masks or spectacles, and other facial markings, they tend to have a wolf-like appearance. The eyes are blue, brown or "bi-eyed" with one blue iris and the brown. The tail is shaped like a sickle. Though the breed is not related to the wolf any more closely than any other breed of dog, it is thought they maintained this appearance through isolated breeding in Siberia. They make good pets,though they are high energy and need plenty of exercise. They are not used as guard dogs because of their gentle spirit.

I got this request from one of my friends at Crochetville and was really happy to design it because the Husky is a dog I gravitate to when ever I see one in the park. The chart size is 110 squares x 110 squares. Use an H hook with your favorite worsted weight yarn. Single crochet it for a square piece or use double crochet or even better, extended double crochet stitches for an adghan sized piece.For all things Siberian Husky--->>>CLICK HERE!

I Love My Weimaraner Crochet Chart or Graph!

The subject of many of William Wegman's photos, the Weimaraner is a German hunting dog. Wegman has used his own pet Weimaraner in costume in all kinds of strange and different situations.
