They’re Samoyeds (originated in Siberia) and were bred for herding reindeer and pulling sleds. At night they would sleep with their people to provide warmth. They’re very silly, sweet dogs who just love to be with their people. Since they’re my grand dogs, I’m not with them all the time - unfortunately because I love them to pieces. And despite being between 45 and 60 pounds, they are convinced they’re lap dogs. They love to cuddle. :-)

I made the mistake of putting the Disney youtube series on for my kid. BB8 has since invaded my house! That's an adorable version do you have a pattern? I might have to try and get my mum to make one for our collection!

The pattern is in this book:

https://www.amazon.com/Star-Wars-Even-M ... rs+crochet" target="_blank" target="_blank" target="_blank

It came with enough yarn for BB8 and one other (I don’t remember which and I’m too lazy to get up and look), plus eyes and a hook.

It has been years since I crocheted and when I looked at the instructions I knew what they were but couldn't remember how to do everything in it (how embarrassing for someone who once crocheted a beautiful pants suit for her mother :oops: ). Are they stitch instructions to jar one's memory in the book. Looks fantastic.

Yep, instructions with illustrations included. It was pretty much all single crochet. The hardest part is just dealing with the small size when stuffing and closing it.

Thank you Debby. I think that is something I may be trying next. What did you use for the stuffing?

The kit came with the stuffing. It looked like pretty standard fiber fill.

I think you’ll be fine, and YouTube is always there for visual aid.

I love your stuff! I keep thinking of sitting down and watching youtube to learn how. I can do the chain stitch and a single and double stitch..but let's not talk about how uneven my blanket would be haha My mom does crochet but she's left handed so her trying to teach me was fun :lol: And funny thing, my dad who was right handed, taught her :lol:
:coffee: :cake:
