🐾 Crochet Snoopy Amigurumi Pattern
Create a lovable seated Snoopy with a softly rounded head, an extra-long sculpted muzzle, floppy black ears, a tiny sleepy expression, oversized oval feet, short relaxed arms, and a bright red collar. 🐶❤️
This design uses compact cartoon proportions: the head and muzzle dominate the silhouette, while the pear-shaped body, forward-facing feet, and small tail create a stable seated pose. The muzzle is worked separately from its narrow nose end toward a wide facial opening, then shaped during assembly to achieve the distinctive long, gently lifted profile.

FO and close.
Shape the head into a tall oval. The face should remain smooth, while the back of the head stays fully rounded.
🐽 Long Sculpted Snout
The snout is the most important shaping element. It begins at the narrow nose end and widens gradually toward the head, creating a long tapered muzzle rather than a short round protrusion.

FO, leaving a very long sewing tail.
Do not close the opening.
🪡 Stuffing and Shaping the Snout
Stuff the snout in stages.
Nose End
Stuff the first six rounds firmly. This keeps the nose end rounded and prevents it from collapsing beneath the black nose.
Middle Section
Stuff Rounds 7–18 moderately firmly. Roll the piece gently between your palms so it becomes a smooth elongated cylinder.
Head End
Stuff the final four rounds more lightly. The wide opening must remain flexible enough to spread against the front of the head.
The finished snout should measure approximately 8–9 cm (3¼–3½ in) long before attachment.
📍 Positioning the Snout
Place the wide opening horizontally across the lower front of the head.
The center of the snout should sit approximately between Head Rounds 15 and 23.
Pin the upper edge first.
The muzzle should:
- Project almost straight forward
- Tilt very slightly upward at the nose
- Sit wider at its base than at its tip
- Remain lower than the embroidered eyes
- Extend well beyond the head profile
Before sewing, check the shape from the front, both sides, and above.
🧵 Sewing the Snout
Sew the upper half of the opening to the head first.
As you sew, spread the final snout round into a broad oval rather than keeping it circular.
Add extra stuffing through the lower opening if necessary.
Sew the lower edge to the head, allowing it to sit slightly farther forward than the upper edge. This creates a softly dropped lower muzzle.
Do not pull the stitches too tightly. Tight sewing can shorten the snout or make the base look pinched.
🪡 Snout Sculpting
Using a long strand of white yarn:
- Insert the needle beneath the snout near the head.
- Bring it out beneath the nose end.
- Return the needle to the starting point.
- Pull gently and knot securely.
This creates a subtle upward curve along the muzzle.
For a flatter lower surface, add a second sculpting stitch running from one side of the muzzle base to the other beneath the snout.
The result should be elongated, smooth, and gently lifted rather than sharply pointed.
🤍 Lower Jaw Pad
The small lower jaw adds depth beneath the muzzle and helps define the smiling mouth.
Using white yarn:

Starting in the second chain:
7 sc, 3 sc in the final chain.
Continue along the opposite side:

R3–4
sc around. (24)
FO, leaving a long tail.
Add only a thin layer of stuffing.
Flatten the piece into a shallow oval.
Sew it beneath the back half of the snout. Its front edge should remain tucked behind the nose end, while the lower curve remains visible from the side.
👃 Black Nose
The nose is a rounded black oval positioned at the very end of the snout.
Using black yarn:
R1
MR 6. (6)
R2
inc ×6. (12)
R3
(1 sc, inc) ×6. (18)
R4–5

Stuff firmly.
R7
dec ×6. (6)
FO and close.
Shape the nose into a rounded horizontal oval.
Sew it to the snout tip, slightly above center. Leave a narrow white edge visible below it.
👄 Smile
Using black embroidery thread:
- Begin approximately halfway along one side of the muzzle.
- Work a long shallow curved stitch toward the lower rear edge.
- Add a shorter curved stitch near the opposite side if desired.
The smile should sit on the side of the snout rather than directly beneath the nose.
Keep it thin and relaxed.
👀 Sleepy Face
The expression combines one gently closed eye with one small visible eye.
Closed Eye
Using black embroidery thread, stitch a shallow downward curve above the snout on one side.
Add one tiny outer lash if desired.
Open Eye
On the opposite side, embroider a small vertical oval or short thick stitch.
Place it slightly higher than the closed eye to account for the three-quarter expression.
Eyebrows
Add one short curved eyebrow above each eye.
The eyebrows should be fine and slightly angled.
👂 Black Ears — Make 2
The ears are broad, long, flat, and completely unstuffed.
Using black yarn:

R17–18
sc around. (20)
FO, leaving a long sewing tail.
Flatten the ears completely.
Do not stuff them.
🪡 Attaching the Ears
Position one ear on each side of the head between approximately Head Rounds 8 and 15.
The upper edge should sit slightly behind the eye line.
Sew across the narrow upper section only, allowing the rest of the ear to hang freely.
Angle the ears slightly backward so they lie against the sides of the head.
The ears should reach approximately to the lower edge of the head.
🧍 Body
The body is a softly rounded pear shape with a narrower neck and full seated belly.

🖤 Toe Lines

Join without twisting.
R1–2
sc around.
FO.
Place the collar over the head-to-body seam and sew it at several points.
The collar should look narrow and slightly raised.
🪡 Assembly
Attach the Head
Center the head over the narrow body opening.
Because the muzzle is long and front-heavy, tilt the head slightly backward before sewing.
Add extra stuffing between the pieces if necessary.
Sew around the neck opening several times.
The red collar will cover the seam.
Attach the Arms
Position the arms high on the body just beneath the collar.
Angle them downward and slightly forward.
Sew securely across each flattened upper opening.
Attach the Feet
Place the feet low on the front sides of the body.
Angle them forward and slightly outward.
The broad toe ends should rest completely on the display surface.
Sew the flattened rear openings to the lower body.
Add one hidden stitch between each foot and the body if extra support is needed.
Attach the Tail
Sew the tail low on the back.
Curve it toward one side so the tip remains visible beside the body.
Add the Collar
Wrap the collar around the neck seam and join it at the back.
Center it beneath the head.
✨ Final Shaping
- Keep the head large and rounded.
- Let the long muzzle project well beyond the face.
- Tilt the muzzle slightly upward.
- Keep the nose centered and rounded.
- Allow the lower jaw to remain visible beneath the snout.
- Let the ears hang flat against the sides.
- Angle the head slightly backward to balance the muzzle.
- Turn the arms inward gently.
- Position the oversized feet well forward.
- Keep the red collar narrow and level.
- Check that the dog sits securely without tipping.
💡 Helpful Tips
- Pin the snout carefully before sewing it permanently.
- Check the muzzle from several angles during assembly.
- Stuff the snout firmly at the nose end and more softly near the head.
- Reinforce the head-to-body seam because the muzzle adds weight.
- Keep the ears completely unstuffed.
- Use fine embroidery thread for the facial features.
- Stuff the feet firmly for sitting stability.
- Add plastic pellets to the lower body if the figure leans forward.
- Avoid pulling the smile or eye stitches too tightly.
🧼 Care Instructions
