Your Personalised Crochet Labrador Pet

While you make your individual crochet Lab pet utilizing the directions above, you will see that that he appears just like the yellow Lab pup within the footage. However I’m an enormous fan of taking an current sample and giving it a novel twist. The simplest approach to adapt the sample is so as to add or take away rows.

Suppose your Labrador has longer legs? No drawback, simply add a number of rows to the size. Wish to give him shorter ears? Then simply take a row off the size there as an alternative.

It’s also possible to use completely different colored yarns to replicate his shade, though I extremely suggest staying with the identical yarn kind. Differing types or ‘weights’ of yarn give completely different sew sizes and finishes to the toy.
