Happy June!
This month’s Midi tier pattern is Percy the Pug from Pocahontas! (try saying that fast!)
I have already made a dog in my previous Mulan series when I made Little Brother. I made Little Brother sitting down so decided to make Percy standing up.
Fortunately, the styles between the two dogs are quite different as Little Brother has a more cartoon appearance and Percy is more realistic like a traditional pug. So, in the end I didn’t have to worry about there being too many similarities as I got to use varying techniques for each.
Percy turned out a little bit smaller than I intended, slimmer too, I think he needs to be a bit rounder in the belly, but it still works, and he ties in nicely with Flit and Meeko.
This project is completely crocheted because the weren’t many opportunities for mixed media. Only the eyes and collar are made of felt. Despite this I really love the way that Percy turned out. I hope that you agree!
Percy’s overall measurements are 5 inches / 13cm tall and 5 inches / 13cm long.
