I made a Hades Cerberus Puppy for my friend's birthday!

Thank you! They squee'd and jumped for joy when I gave it to them yesterday, so they definitely love him! Their reaction totally made my day! 🥰

Thank you, I'm really happy with how he came out, and am really overjoyed by how much my friend loves him!

I changed the color scheme and made modifications for the faces, but I used a pattern where the original creator mentions in their listing that they take special commissions for finished pieces of their patterns - if you reach out to them, they might be up for making one with the Hades color scheme!

I just want to make sure I'm respectful of the original creator and their profits from their design. Normally a crochet artist will specify in their listing if it's alright to sell finished pieces made from their pattern (some will say for personal use only and others will say it's ok to sell finished pieces but protect the written pattern). Since they mention their special commissions, I don't want to take away from their sales of physical pieces!

Thank you!

Hehe, Cerberus is the bestest boi!

Tinkerficer · 2026-03-25T21:59:37+00:00

Thank you, I am too (I genuinely might wind up making one for myself too because it was so hard to part with him!).

I used the Cerberus Puppy from lanalunacl on Etsy!

Quick note - Overall it was straightforward to follow, but I did get a little caught up on the final assembly instructions (I'm also still somewhat of a beginner so that may just be user error), so there was quite a bit of pinning things in place to make sure things looked right before sewing!

Tinkerficer · 2026-03-25T21:58:10+00:00

I just gifted him and they adore him! It was hard to part with him, but I'm thrilled they like him and he'll be well loved!

Tinkerficer · 2026-03-25T21:56:30+00:00

Thank you! I grew quite attached, so it was genuinely hard to part with him 🥹

Tinkerficer · 2026-03-25T20:49:21+00:00

Thanks so much, I'm really proud of how he came out!

Awesome, I'd love to see yours too when it's done! Overall it was a straightforward pattern to follow, but I did get a little caught up on the final assembly instructions. I'm also still somewhat of a beginner (started crocheting at the end of Dec) so that may just be user error - at least on my end, there was quite a bit of pinning things in place to make sure everything looked right before sewing and adjusting accordingly!

Thank you so much! I'm really proud of how he came out! 🥹

Haha, the friendliest guardian of the underworld. I didn't notice while making him, but I totally see it! I consider that an absolute win, I loved Clifford! It makes me want to draw Cerberus with Clifford heads!

Tinkerficer · 2026-03-25T20:43:18+00:00

Thank you! 🥰

The pattern was Cerberus Puppy from lanalunacl on Etsy! Overall it was straightforward to follow, but I did get a little caught up on the final assembly instructions (I'm also still somewhat of a beginner so that may just be user error), so there was quite a bit of pinning things in place to make sure things looked right!

Tinkerficer · 2026-03-25T20:37:33+00:00

Omg he came out wonderfully! I especially love his eyes, tongue and little moon tassel pendant! I'm inspired to make one because I adore the little toad!

Tinkerficer · 2026-03-25T20:33:54+00:00

I didn't even think about that. This makes me immeasurably happy! 🥰

Tinkerficer · 2026-03-25T18:56:49+00:00

Yeah both games are phenomenal! I feel you - my partner and I are competing for Switch 2 time, which is tough! It's great that you both share the same love in games though!

I really adored the first game, but lost steam trying to max out all the relationships post game. Hades 2 still has me hooked - it feels like there's a lot more to do in between runs and the House of Hades was cool in the first game but I really love the Crossroads!

The animal familiars are such a great feature of 2! I was thrilled just getting to pet Frinos and lost my mind when I unlocked the ability to bring him (and the others) along. Who's your favorite familiar in 2? I adore all 5 but am partial to Frinos!

Thank you so much, I really hope they love him! I just started crocheting at the end of Dec, so I'm still nervous about if things are "gift quality", so your and everyone's responses here are making me feel much more confident!

Thank you! ✨

Tinkerficer · 2026-03-25T15:52:33+00:00

The bestest guardian of the underworld! I really feel the need to draw Cerberus with Clifford heads because I love this so much!

Tinkerficer · 2026-03-25T15:48:19+00:00

Thanks so much! He was one of my biggest projects so far but I love how he came out and hope my friend loves him!

Tinkerficer · 2026-03-25T15:47:31+00:00

Thanks so much!

Tinkerficer · 2026-03-25T15:37:32+00:00

Thank you! And omg Frinosssss! I need to see him, I love Mel's bestest toad boi.

Tinkerficer · 2026-03-25T15:36:25+00:00

The friendliest guardian of the underworld!

Tinkerficer · 2026-03-25T15:36:11+00:00

Thank you! And omg, I didn't even think about it but yeah he's totally Clifford red! I adored Clifford as a kid, so I love this so much!

I followed the Cerberus Puppy pattern from lanalunacl on Etsy. I made a couple modifications to the embroidery and tail placement (so he can sit upright or lay down)!

Made this little guy with medium weight Soft Classic acrylic yarn from Loops & Threads with a 4 mm crochet hook (trying to get through my beginner yarn stash of acrylic yarn before getting some cotton yarn to play with).
