This digital PDF pattern lets you create Ranger the Floppy German Shepherd, a no-sew amigurumi project perfect for an intermediate crocheter. The finished dog has a wonderfully floppy body that can lay, stand, and sit upright without support, making it an ideal cuddle buddy and a charming decoration.
The comprehensive 18-page tutorial includes 44 reference photos and uses standard US crochet terms. You can choose between two sizes by using different yarn weights, creating a small or large shepherd with the same pattern.
