Whether for yourself or as a gift, Snoopy is guaranteed to bring joy and nostalgia in the sweetest way.
This pattern is both fun and beginner-friendly, making it easy to follow for new and experienced crocheters alike.
Level of Difficulty
Intermediate. While the main body is simple amigurumi (single crochet, increase, decrease), the project elevates the difficulty through two main techniques: the Puff Stitch (to create the feet/paws) and the essential color change mid-round for the nose. You must also skillfully sew multiple small parts (ears, tail) onto a curved surface.
Tutor's Suggestions
Follow these expert tips to ensure neatness and a professional finish:
-
Secure the Color Change: When you finish the black Puff Stitch for the nose, cut the black yarn immediately. Secure the tail by tying it firmly to the white yarn on the inside of the head to prevent the nose detail from unraveling.
-
Mind the Feet Placement: When placing the Puff Stitches for the feet and hands on the body, take care to push them firmly to the outside of the piece. This ensures they protrude correctly and give the figure a stable base.
-
Hiding the Tails: When you finish the smaller pieces (like the ears), leave a long enough tail for sewing. Use the tapestry needle to sew them on securely, then weave the excess yarn deep into the body's stuffing before trimming, hiding the ends completely.
The finished Snoopy is soft, huggable, and the perfect size for nursery décor, desk displays, or even as a thoughtful gift for someone special. Beyond its cuteness, crocheting Snoopy helps you relax, enjoy the creative process, and improve your crafting skills.
Special Features
This pattern captures the essence of the beloved characters using clever techniques to mimic their appearance:
-
The Built-in Bobble Paws: You form Snoopy’s four little feet and his two hands directly into the body rounds using the Puff Stitch (or Bobble Stitch). This technique creates small, rounded bumps that eliminate the need to crochet and sew on separate paws.
-
Seamless Nose Shaping: You incorporate a color change mid-round to transition immediately from the white head to the black nose spot, defining the snout without a noticeable seam. The nose itself is a single Puff Stitch, giving it dimension.
-
Fifi's Curly Texture: You create Fifi’s distinctive hairdo and ear trim using a Picot Stitch technique. You crochet a long chain and then work a series of repeating small loops along its length, which naturally curls and adds texture to her coif.
Step-by-Step Guide
This pattern guides you through shaping their signature bodies and adding unique character details like Snoopy's nose spot and Fifi's curly hair and ear details. Craft this charming duo as keychains or tiny decorative figures perfect for any Peanuts fan.
Tip
Anchor the Puff Stitches: To make the Puff Stitches (used for the paws and feet) pop out and stay firm, push them to the exterior side of the piece after you complete the stitch. Additionally, use your tapestry needle and the yarn tail to make a small stitch underneath the bobble, securing it tightly to the previous row before continuing the round.
Conclusion
You have successfully crocheted the charming pair, Snoopy and Fifi! This project allowed you to master advanced amigurumi techniques like the decorative Puff Stitch and crucial mid-row color changes, resulting in beautifully detailed, tiny figures. Display your adorable, handmade keychains and celebrate the beloved world of Peanuts.
