To celebrate the launch of my latest pattern for Portia Pug I have decided to share the patterns for her little, teeny puppies for free.

Hope you enjoy them and please pop over to our FB page and share your own versions. We'd love to see them.
Patterns are in UK notation.
You will need to know how to:
Slip stitch (slst)
Magic Circle/magic loop/adjustable loop (mc)
double crochet (dc)
half treble (htr)
Work in the back loop
Work in the front loop
Special Stitch: Puff stitch is 3tr together in the same stitch
I have used Style Craft Special DK yarn in parchment and dark brown.
