I previously linked to a free pattern for a chipmunk softie made from the “Happy Gloves” book by Miyako Kanamor. Miyako also published a book called “Sock & Glove“, which provides step-by-step instructions on how to turn socks and gloves in to lovable softie characters.
You can now find the free pattern and instructions for the dog AND the bunny from the book on the Martha Stewart website:

Great step-by-step pictures and instructions. And a clever way to recycle socks and gloves of course

If you like Dashshunds (or know someone who would want one as a gift) and you’re keen to make a more realistic-looking softie, how’s this life-size stuffed toy dachshund?

Very cool, hey? You’ll need some fake fur for this one, plus, leather (or felt) and a pair of plastic safety eyes. All the details on materials, plus the free pattern pieces and step-by-step instructions (with pictures) are over here.

Q.D. Patooties is an awesome softie-maker. Just visit her blog and you will see how skillful she is in creating a range of different softies each with their own character and charm.
She kindly offers a free pattern for one of her softie dogs made in her signature style:

I am sure you will find it quite difficult to resist the urge to go and make a dozen of these guys:

The pattern is by All Sorts (an incredibly talented crafter and illustrator - just looking at her website will make you smile from ear to ear) and is super simple to put together. The pattern is in jpeg format so you can enlarge it as required.
