About this pattern **PLEASE READ

BEFORE STARTING**
I have designed this french bulldog pattern so that
you can create your own frenchie in your favourite
colours.
The pattern is written out as if it was a one colour
frenchie, with instructions for face and body
patches included in the steps. However the pictures
will be of a black pied french bulldog.
Work out which colours you will be using and where
then write them down on a sticky note as a
reminder.

Skill level​ this pattern is easy enough for beginners,
however there is a bit of sewing. Just remember to
use a lot of pins and take your time. If you find you
are not happy with your results after attaching the

Frenchie
piece, unstitch it and start again… it’s a pain and
frustrating but it will be worth it in the end.

LEAVE THEM UNTIL LATER
The eyes do not have a specific placement, though they are placed roughly where the pins are on Rd 15. Insert
the eyes approx 3 stitches away from the back of the nose between Rd14 and 15. Before attaching the washers
make sure you are happy with how they look. If you prefer wait to add the washers until after you have made and
attached the ears.

With the black cotton sew the nose. Bring the needle out between the two nose pieces in the center. Make your
first stitch vertically down 3 rounds. Then continue making vertical lines to each side until you have the desired
nose shape. To finish off, make one or two vertical stitches down the center of the nose. ​See pictures below for
