🐶 Sleepy Couch Dog Remote Holder Crochet Pattern
Soft, cozy, and irresistibly charming, this sleepy dog keeps your remote controls, glasses, notepads, and small gadgets tucked neatly into a deep pocket while appearing to snooze peacefully over the arm of your couch. Made with plush chenille yarn, the finished texture matches the gentle, velvety look in the photo — thick, defined stitches with a relaxed drape. The head is tall and round, the muzzle prominent, the ears long, and the panel reinforced with lining so the pocket stands beautifully even when filled.

🪡 Assembly
Attach Body to Panel
Lay panel flat, pocket opening upward.
Center body along the top edge, with:
- ~60–70% body over arm side
- ~30–40% draping forward
Sew underside of body to panel edge for at least 16–18 cm width.
Sew Head
Attach head snugly to the front top of body.
Angle downward about 30–45°.
Add hidden anchoring stitches under chin into body so tilt doesn’t shift.
Add Muzzle & Nose
Ensure the muzzle stands out prominently at least half its length.
Attach Ears
Place low enough so ear tips reach muzzle height when resting naturally.
Arms & Legs
Arms drape over sofa arm edge.
Legs hang down pocket.
Optional Weighting
Place pellet pouch in back half of body (NOT head).
This improves natural slump.
☕ Use & Styling
Slide pocket over couch arm so the dog naps at the front edge.
Remote can be stored upright, cosmetics, glasses, notebooks, etc.
Spot clean only.
Gently brush chenille texture if flattened.
Enjoy your cozy companion keeping the remotes tidy and the vibes extra snuggly! 💤🐾
