US English pattern by Emi Kanesada (Enna Design). Includes step-by-step pictures.

The Pocket Pets series features palm-sized pets nestled in cozy, playful pockets for fun crocheting. This pattern features a charming Shiba Inu relaxing in a mug of hot cocoa filled with marshmallows. A detachable 'marshmallow-on-top' hat with an oversized marshmallow adds a whimsical, kawaii touch. As delightful to craft as it is to admire, it’s perfect for crafters who adore playful, one-of-a-kind designs. Combining the cuteness and charm of a Shiba Inu, this pattern creates a delightful project and makes a truly unique gift.

This pattern is written using American terminology. I designed this fun project with basic crochet stitches, and the nose and mouth are embroidered with straight stitches. You only need a small amount of yarn, and any leftover yarn will do.

There are step-by-step instructions with a lot of pictures. I hope you enjoy making them as much as I enjoyed creating them!
