Dudley the Dachshund
Dudley the Dachshund
With dust on his face & a trail of muddy paw prints, Dudley reveals where he has buried his bone.
Dudley is crocheted in rounds in a continuous spiral and his legs rotate so you can position him standing, sitting or sleeping. The digital pattern PDF download comes with visual aids and links to video tutorials for all required stitches and techniques to complete the project.
