Snoopy with Cake for Birthday Party Crochet Pattern

Snoopy with Cake for Birthday Party Crochet Pattern (2)

Snoopy is perhaps one of the most popular dog cartoon characters in the world, and today I will introduce you to the pattern of a Snoopy amigurumi toy holding a birthday cake. The Amigurumi Snoopy is designed in a very standard way and closely resembles the original character. All parts of the toy are made using very simple crochet techniques, but there are two different alternatives when making the toy. If you are only crocheting the Snoopy toy, you need to position the arms correctly. If the toy is going to hold a cake, you need to sew the arms to the body in a different position.

Snoopy for Birthday Party Amigurumi Pattern

To make the Snoopy amigurumi toy and the cake, the designer recommends using a 2.00 mm crochet hook and 6 different colors of yarn. Honestly, I think making Snoopy’s hat and cake is much more complex than making Snoopy himself. That’s why I’ll only choose to make Snoopy. Let’s get started.
