Lifesize Toy Poodle pattern

[The_Virginia_Hooker]

I am looking for a pattern for a lifesized crochet toy poodle. My goal is to make a stuffed toy poodle that is the size of a friend's real poodles. She is in and out of the hospital sometimes, and she's said that one of the things she misses when she's in the hospital is holding her 'babies' and how comforting it is. She mentioned how she's thought about buying a stuffed toy poodle, and while i thought about getting one for her, i thought making one might be better.

This one is almost big enough, I think (how big is a toy poodle?), maybe you could make the body with a thicker yarn, like baby clouds?
