Introduction

Make the Farmers-Market Pup—a sunny amigurumi puppy ready to sell fresh berries. He wears gingham overalls, a butter-yellow tee with a sunflower, green sneakers with laces, and a beige newsboy cap. Accessories include a cream tote filled with veggies plus strawberry crates, a price tag, and a tiny receipt for realistic market storytelling. Pattern is written in US terms and pieces are worked in continuous rounds unless noted.

Please note: I strive for accuracy in every pattern, but occasional errors can happen. Thank you for understanding and for enjoying my designs.

Assembly & Exact Placement

1. Head to Body: Pin head centered; whipstitch, adding extra stuffing at the neck for stability.
2. Arms: Sew slightly below the tee’s sleeve seam so the left arm angles inward to hold the berry crate; tack palm to crate edge at two points.
3. Legs/Feet: Attach at body base, feet parallel and ~1 cm apart; check standing balance before tightening.
4. Dress: Put on tee, then overalls. Center bib under chin; cross straps in back and button to the bib.
5. Cap: Seat cap with band seam at back; tilt forward slightly; tack bill to head if desired.
6. Shoes: Tie cream laces in bows; add a tiny stitch to secure bows.
7. Tote: Hang on right shoulder so bag rests at hip; fill with carrots and greens, stitching a few points inside so items don’t fall out.
8. Props: Place the second strawberry crate by the pup’s feet; set the receipt on the table near the right shoe.

Face & Finishing Touches
