This dog bed crochet pattern is perfect for your small dog. It’s an easy crochet pattern that’s absolutely free and whips up quickly!
Our three pound long haired chihuahua, “Thunder”, loves to snuggle all curled up and take naps. Every dog bed that I have found is often way too big for his little body so I decided to crochet him one!
This project is super simple to crochet and uses basic stitches that most beginners would find easy! If you’re looking for more small dog crochet projects be sure to check out the crochet dog sweater pattern that I made for Thunder too. If you need a crochet refresher course be sure to check out my Learn To Crochet – a Complete Beginner Guide eBOOK!
My favorite kind of crochet patterns are ones that work up quickly and can be completed in an evening. Like this Crochet Headband Pattern, this Crochet Flower Pattern and this fun Crochet Slipper Pattern.

Hello, I am confused. Is this in the round? where do you join? do chain stitches count?
This is crocheted in the round, no join just continual and chain stitches do count :)
