Balloon Dog

Lots of people love balloon animals! But they always have an unfortunate tendency to pop or deflate over time. So why not make a more long-lasting version? This cuddly plush has a beginner-friendly pattern, and makes a perfect companion for any dog and/or balloon lover.

Materials:

5mm crochet hook

Worsted weight yarn (about 200g)

Polyester fiberfill

Yarn needle

(You can use whatever yarn and hook size you’d like, just be aware that it will change the size of the finished product. I used the materials above, and my plush measures 8 ½ inches long and 8 inches tall.)
