This adorable crochet dog bone makes the perfect handmade toy for your furry friend. Soft, safe, and squeezably cute, it's a thoughtful way to show your pup some love.

The finished bone comes in natural tan and brown tones, giving it that classic dog bone look your pet will recognize instantly. You can make it plain or add a cute meat-on-the-bone variation for extra charm. At about 6-8 inches long, it's the right size for most dogs to carry around and play with. This makes a wonderful gift for dog owners, shelter fundraisers, or pet adoption events. The sturdy cotton yarn holds up to gentle chewing and washing, and you can even add a ribbon loop to hang it as a cute pet-themed decoration. It's also a great beginner-friendly project if you're just getting into amigurumi - you'll learn basic shaping techniques while making something your dog will actually use.

Yarn Warehouse
