These love pugs are so cute and definitely need to be in your to-do list! This pattern uses thinner plush yarn, if you use Bernat Blanket yarn, your pugs will come out large . If you can, try to keep all yarn weight the same. If you can’t find all similar yarn weight, you may need to slightly alter the pattern to make the yarn weight differences blend better together. For example, I could only find a very bulky weight 8 yarn for the cream pug’s skin color. I only increased for the first 4 rounds for this pug, then changed to the smaller yarn weight (in pink) to make the last increase round. If I did make all the increases in the bulkier weight yarn, my cream pug would have been much larger. So making the last increase round with thinner yarn made the increases way less bulky. Try to use all similar yarn weight, alter if you have to!

Antennas:

Cut pipe cleaners to be about 2.5“ long. Insert the end of your crochet hook into the area where you will put the pipe cleaner. Jam your hook back and forth in this area – this will create a clearing for the pipe cleaner to easily fit. Remove the hook and place a dot of hot glue in this area. Insert the pipe cleaner in, having about .5“ go inside the toy. Now take a red pom pom, I cut a small line out of the middle of the pom pom to create a heart. Place a small dot of hot glue on the pom pom and stick on the end of the pipe cleaner, holding on for a few seconds to secure.
