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. These photos have gone on to be quite popular as prints and on greeting cards and have become a major factor in the publicizing of a formerly little known breed of dog.
There are lots of Weimaraner items here:Weimaraner Stuff!

My friends over at Crochetville asked for a Weimaraner to crochet and this is what came off my drawing board. The chart is 100 squares across x 90 squares high. Crochet it in worsted weight yarn with an H hook in the sc stitch. If you want an afghan sized piece, use the dc or extended double crochet. Hey! maybe you can do it in Tunisian stitch!

This pattern belongs to me and is under my copyright. You may make items for your own personal use but not for profit. Please don't violate my copyright. I enjoy creating the patterns for you to use for yourself.

I Love My Yorkie Crochet Chart or Graph

The Yorkshire Terrier is a most popular breed! In my neighborhood, Yorkies live in the lap of luxury! My good friend, Lynnie, is on her third one. The each of the first two died of natural cause at ripe old ages. The second one, Rocco, had bad teeth and had to have them removed when he was 11 years old but he thrived on soft food and loved to go shopping in a big Louis Vuitton bag. One of my friends over at Crochetville requested a Yorkie graph and here it is! The size is 100 squares across x 90 squares high. Use your favorite yarn, like Red heart Super Saver or Caron Pounder and an H hook with sc, or you could do an afghan sized blanket using the dc or extended double crochet.

Crochet Labrador Retriever Chart or Graph!




Here are four color varieties of the Labrador Retriever. My dog Cheech was in love with a black lab. He was a big galoot and they fetched sticks and tennis balls for hours. I wanted to do a graph for him and I got carried away with the colors when one of my friends over at Crochetville told me she had a Chocolate Lab. I did some research and discovered that there are two additional colors, Yellow and the rare Silver.

Additional information about this pattern: I have the original copy of Pineapple Crochet Baby Set. There is no copyright date, although I am making an educated guess that is is circa 1940. It is a pattern sheet 21 1/2 inches by 16 inches. I have re-worked the pattern for today's crochet terminology and also for the yarn and hook size. I have re-illustrated the pattern by colorizing the images. My HTML arrangement of this patterns, my added instructions, my research on hook and yarn, and my re-illustration of the images are 2008 Maria Merlino
