Customer Reviews
works up super quick and the pictures make it so easy to understand. plus it’s no sew?? amazing. i love him!
This was so cute!!!! I’m ngl I struggled a bit with the paws and neck but I’m also pretty new. You definitely need to follow the YO/YO or else the paws come out weird or at least it did for me. The only part I struggled with was creating the shape of the face. It kind of left an indent on the bottom neck of my dog but again, I’m pretty new. Also the seller was great and answered my questions pretty quickly :)
Great no sew pattern. Although I do prefer to sew the head on, but that’s just a personal preference. Easy pattern to follow, and the shepherd turns out so cute!
Very easy pattern and the finished product is adorable. I loved the detail on how to embroider the eyes too.
completely no sew! easy instructions to folllw definitely recommend. I changed the color changes so it would look like mt friends dog more.

Love how this pattern turned out! I got a little confused when it came to the head, but gave it another go, read the instructions carefully and it came out perfect!
Callie was very accommodating and happy to receive questions and give advice on the types of yarn and the appropriate patterns for my skill set.

Easy to follow pattern and it turns out so cute!
Super well written, I was a little confused not using the same colours as the pattern but i got the hang of it 🫱🏻🫲🏼
loved this pattern. it was easy to follow. i wanted to make something that looks like my boy cause he’s mixed and looks like a shepherd but is more of a golden/cream color. i’ve never been able to find anything that looks like him and since learning to crochet i was able to make it myself 🥹
Instant delivery of the PDF file

Really cute pattern, excited to make!
Easy pattern that works up quickly. Highly recommend!
Really excited to try this pattern. Will post picture when I do.
This is by far the best German Shepherd pattern I have found. German Shepherds are my breed and it always breaks my heart when I look for stuffed GSDs to give as gift because they just don't look right. This pattern changes that and now I can make my own gifts and know they will look perfect. This pattern was very well written and very easy to follow. It also contains many great photos to help along the way. I have three patterns from Knots and Snuggles and I love all three of them. She is now my new favorite designer.
One of the best Amigurumi patterns I have purchased. Super clear instructions and great design, he worked out beautifully and I will definitely be buying more patterns from this seller. Xxx
Such an awesome pattern! It was easy to follow and turned out so cute!
