Meet Long Dog

Long Dog is here, and he’s ready for a year of adventures.

It’s a Long Dog World is a collection of 13 whimsical crochet outfits for Long Dog, plus two bonus patterns, AND our original Long Dog pattern, all gathered together in one big, beautifully printed book. From snowy days and summer adventures to holidays, gardening, camping and a little bit of general mischief, Long Dog has a wardrobe for just about everything.

This is a printed book only - there is no digital download or individual outfit PDFs. I wanted Long Dog to be something you could hold in your hands, sit down with, and enjoy away from a screen. There’s something really lovely about slowing down, making something with your own hands, and creating the kind of silly, wonderful things that become part of family memories. And keeping it as a physical book also helps protect the patterns from being copied and shared without permission.

You can find It’s a Long Dog World on Amazon in paperback, kindle, and, in some regions, hardcover. Just search Fat Lady Crochet on Amazon to find it.

Come make something wonderfully ridiculous.

Designed as part of the growing world of original Fat Lady Crochet characters, Apple Dan was created to feel nostalgic in a way you can’t quite place, like something you would’ve spotted in an old storybook or forgotten Saturday morning cartoon.

This pattern includes detailed instructions, helpful photos, and plenty of quirky charm along the way. Whether you’re making him for display, gifting, collecting, or simply because his little apple face makes you smile, Apple Dan is ready to roll into your crochet lineup and cause just the right amount of trouble.
