Everyone always tells me - you don't do "dog" toys..
Well, I do... you just don't know I am using it as a "dog toy".

My beasties love when I make mistakes on my amigurumis.  When something just isn't working as it should - sometimes it gets 'frogged' - most times, it becomes a toy.

The Max Beast loves the KISS Series the best as he can shake them and run with them and just be a big ole bruiser.  His sister loves the rounder, ball like things - like a doll head I started to design and then abandoned.

But here's one that leaves no question who it's for.

General Notes:
- This pattern is worked in continuous spiral rounds unless otherwise noted.
- This pattern utilizes standard US Crochet Terms.
- I do not utilize 'turning chains' when creating rows of single crochet stitches.  If you find it necessary to ch-1 at turn, this will count as your 1st stitch.
