Pattern credit question

Let’s say you’re working on an amigurumi project and you’re using a bit of pattern A, a bit of pattern B, and a bit of your own freehand changes. Who do you credit as the pattern designer?
For example, I have made a poodle largely based on a single pattern except that I made adjustments (added/left out/changed the count on a few rounds) on the head, body, and tail. I came up with my own ears, collar, and bows and crocheted the limbs in place based on a technique I learned from a different pattern designer. I am fully aware that I cannot/should not call it my own design. However, it is different enough from the original that I don’t quite know how to say who designed it.
