Sheltie puppy

I made this for a friend

    About

    A friend ask if I could make a cute sheltie puppy to give to a relative who's passionate about shelties. I did some research and discovered that this breed has a quite a complicated blend of colours. I opted for the black and tan as the one I thought most achievable. I'm not sure if my puppy would be picked out in a sheltie ID parade but the brief was for a cute sheltie puppy so hopefully I've managed two out of three.

      He’s so cute, I love all your animals! Is the wool difficult to knit with?

        Thanks Michelle, I was very unsure about this one as I was making it for someone who actually has a sheltie, so I was feeling a bit of pressure to get it right. Thankfully she was thrilled so it all ended well I'm glad to say.

        I'm sure you'll enjoy it, I love the Yorkie and have the yarn for the Lab and Pug just not enough knitting hours in a day!.

        Thanks Pat, your puppy pack pattern has been used so many times now I'm going to have to reprint it, and I haven't done the Lab or the Pug yet!

        @Gypsycream aka Pat A: Thanks Pat, we have to share the credit, it's the format of your patterns that makes it possible, they're so clear and easy to follow.
