        I just decided to let them ‘play’ together Michelle, since they’ll be flung about when Paddy boy arrives! I decided to put the picture up to let you see! I’m about halfway through knitting Dexter!

        That’s so kind, thanks Christine, although I think one of the ears looks larger - I only noticed it when I’d sewn them on!

      Well Charlie is perfect now Hazel. I just noticed how the ears sit how cool is that, and you said he's about the size of a real Chihuahua I like my toys to be a bit bigger.what colour will you do your lab. Lets hope the next pattern isn't for a Great Dane we will be running out of room.lol😊😊

        Charlie is supposed to be 25 cms to the tips of his ears - he’s chunkier than a chihuahua but I think they must be 25 cms (about 10 inches) in real life. I think one ear is possibly bigger than the other! My K
        Labrador is going to be a yellow lab although I might knit another one, lol. Gosh if the next dog from Amanda is a Great Dane, I’ll have to start saving!!,

        Oh Michelle, I knitted all four legs the wrong way round colour-wise and had to frog them, then I realised I’d knitted the snout the wrong colour! Honestly, it was my lack of concentration! But I am happy now, you’re right, thank you! We have a pack between us now & I'm lining up the Lab!

        Thanks Lynne, he is sweet although I kept making mistake after mistake knitting him! I thought he’d end up looking odd but thankfully not. Except I just realised I forgot his paws!
