My Grandpa has always loved the Peanuts comic strip. I remember him reading them to us when we were little and his smile and chuckle that are so dear to me. I get sad that I live so far away from him and don't get to see him often. This year for Christmas I made up this Snoopy and his pattern... with the smile that it would put on Grandpa's face in mind. And, of course, I knit my Snoopy a little bitty red scarf and sent him off to Grandpa.
Snoopy is also now for sale at my store.
I hope you enjoy him as well and the free pattern!

Thanks! Drew and Israel love them now too.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the pattern. I've always loved Snoopy!
ReplyDeleteThank you and I love you for posting patterns of such cute amigurumi.
ReplyDeleteHi, so cute! Would you tell me how big he is? Thanks!
ReplyDeleteEmily, I keep wishing I'd measured before giving him away... he is small. Maybe 4 inches tall? But that would vary with the yarn you use too...
ReplyDeleteHi Bethany,
DeleteGreat pattern and I can't wait to start. I'm fairly new to the world of Amigurumi crocheting.
When you say "sc even around" what does this mean? And also, What does sc blo even around?
Thanks! CrisGutz19
Thanks for the wonderful pattern! My brother loves Snoopy, I'll probably make one for him. If I post pictures of any I make how should I credit you for the pattern?
ReplyDeleteYou are welcome! You can just link back to me for pattern credit. I'd love to see the pics too. :)
ReplyDeletethis is the cutest thing!!!
ReplyDeletePlease help me. My ears don't look like yours. Mine isn't flat like ears or long like the picture
ReplyDeleteAfter I make the ears I flatten them. And you can try to keep a tight tension and count stitches. It is hard to make those littlest parts! If that doesn't help, you can send me a picture...
ReplyDeleteone more question - there isn't instructions for the red scarf.
ReplyDeleteYes, I whipped up the scarf quickly. It was a k1, p1, and I slipped the last stitch of each row. Not sure how many I cast on (I think it was an odd number) or how many rows I did. :/
ReplyDeleteYou could easily ch for as long as you wanted the scarf then sc a couple rows till it is as thick as you want, and add fringe.
Sorry about that. I thought of writing it down. Maybe I'll try it again and write down the pattern this time.

ReplyDeleteThank you for your pattern. My Grandson loves snoopy and he is only 10. I am so thankful that he loves all the retro cartoons ans shows.
DeleteI had the same problem as Cindyusa. My ears were super small and rounded. They weren't "ear" shaped like yours.
ReplyDeleteChristina- Try making sure your tension isn't too loose. It's hard to not get loose on little pieces worked in the round, and shape it as you go. Hope that helps!
ReplyDeletethanks so much for the pattern! my parent's both love snoopy, as do I. I can't wait to get started!!
ReplyDeleteI hate to correct you on something so ridiculous, but you forgot the n in snoopy. "And, of course, I knit my Soopy a little bitty red scarf and sent him off to Grandpa." This is from the first paragraph. Sorry to correct, but my mind is just wired to correct!
Thanks, Ariella! I always proofread but that's an awful one for me to miss! :) Fixed it. :)
ReplyDeleteWhere can I find your pattern for Snoopy's scarf? Snoopy and Woodstock are so adorable! I crochet things for Operation Christmas Child, an organization that gives shoe boxes filled with simple gifts to needy children all around the world. I think I will crochet both! They will make welcome friends for needy child, and surely bring a smile to their face.
ReplyDeleteBy the way....thank you for the patterns!!
ReplyDeleteHi, Pam. Glad the pattern will get good use! Click on the link at the end of the post that says "Pattern for Snoopy's scarf is now blogged." That will take you to the scarf instructions. Thanks!
ReplyDeletethanks for sharing..
ReplyDeleteI just finished making the snoopy pattern. It looks great! Thanks for the sharing!
ReplyDeleteThanks for this pattern. I love it and will make it for Christmas for my husband who loves Snoopy. Just one concern.
ReplyDeleteI don't see how many ch's you are supposed to chain before forming a loop and starting Row 1 in any of the body part sections. You just say to do a certain number of sc in loop, not how big to make the loop.
Row 1: 5sc in loop, tighten loop
Hi, SallyAnn. I don't use chains to make the loops. You don't want to leave any hole at the top so I use what some call a "magic loop." It is,essentially, a slip knot like the one you make when you begin to crochet. But instead of your working strand being the one that can tighten the slip knot,the tail should. This way, when you are done making the row 1 sc in the loop you can pull on the tail to completely close the hole. You can go on YouTube and search for magic loop to get a visual. Another good method is called "amigurumi loop." Hope that helps.
DeleteHe's adorable! Thanks so much for sharing the pattern.
ReplyDeleteLove Joan xx
Thanks for sharing your pattern I donate to needy kids and they will enjoy snoopy I am sure!
ReplyDeleteLove these, thx for sharing. Having a snoopy birthday party next month, so I'm gonna make a bunch of snoopy & Woodstock to give to the kids. You're so awesome for sharing!!
