01 of 05 Crochet Dog or Wolf Plushie
This is actually a wolf plushie, but it looked so similar to a dog plushie and cute that I could not help but share this. Learn how to crochet a 17 cm tall kawaii plushie wearing a lovely vest. I love the overall Chibi finish of this dog/wolf plushie, with the large glittery eyes being my favorite part.
