You can make a Scottie Dog using yarn and a hook, just like I used Rico Creative Cotton and a 4mm hook. The pattern is quite simple, with a total of 12 single crochet stitches in the first row.

To join the two pieces together, you'll need to use a single crochet stitch around both pieces, working in an anti-clockwise direction so your stitches face forwards. This ensures that your Scottie Dog looks nice and even.

Don't forget to add a 5-10mm seam allowance to your pattern, and "nip" your seams at the pointy bits to make it easier to turn the fabric right side round. This is a crucial step to get a professional-looking finish.

You'll need to cut the fabric once, then flip it over and cut again to get two pieces facing opposite directions. This might seem a bit tricky, but it's a common technique when working with fabric.

The pattern itself is a bit rough around the edges, but it works just fine to make a lovely Scottie Dog door stop. If you're not a skilled sewer like me, don't worry - the pattern is easy to follow and understand.

To make your own crochet brooch, you'll need yarn and a hook that match, like Rico Creative Cotton and a 4mm hook.

Using US terms, a single crochet is the same as a UK double crochet.

To single crochet 2 together, insert the hook into the next stitch, yarn over, pull up a loop, yarn over, pull up a loop, yarn over, and pull through all 3 loops.

Start by crocheting 7 single crochets, then 2 single crochets in the next stitch to make 9 stitches.

You'll be working with a chain of 10 stitches, with 6 single crochets, 2 single crochets in the next stitch, and a chain 2.

Turn the work, attach new yarn to the hook, and start crocheting from the 6th chain from the left side.

Crochet 5 single crochets, then single crochet 2 together with 3 single crochets and a chain 1 to make 5 stitches.
