Welcome to the Bobble Buddies Collection!

Bobble buddies are a cross between a blanket and favorite stuffed animal, making them the perfect sweet lovies for little ones! Offering all of the comfort and security of a beloved blanket with the fun and imagination of a stuffed toy. The bobbled texture and soft body structure provide great sensory input while the cute animal designs make them fun for play!

This listing is for the digital pdf pattern for the Darling Dalmation bobble buddy. This bobble buddy has the new body style with fewer bobbles to create a spotted look! This body style will work with other bobble buddies.

If you are looking for additional animals, check out the rest of the animal patterns in the bobble buddy collection!

Darling Dalmation measures about 15 inches from top to bottom and can be made in a variety of ways. The pattern includes instructions for making single-colored spots or a rubric for creating a multi-colored pup. Use a worsted acrylic blend or a soft baby velvet yarn to achieve different styles and looks with your bobble buddy.

This pattern is most appropriate for advanced beginner or intermediate crocheters. You should be familiar with working in the round, bobble stitch and color changes. Pattern includes detailed instructions with photo and multiple video tutorials, great for those who want to practice with a new stitch!
