    About

    I wanted this puppy to pose in different positions and I thought this pattern would work well.

    Yarns

    • material-yarn
      Tivoli Husk - White and Beige ✕ 2.0 balls

    Needles & Hooks

    • Single Point 3.50mm (US 4) 35cm

    Accessories

    • Tapestry Needle
    • Stuffing
    Other : 12mm eyes and 18mm nose. I used 22mm and 35mm teddy bear joints in the legs and head

    Measurements

    30cm

    Notes: The Tivoli yarn is between an Aran and a Chunky which increased the size. I also made two additional back legs to use in place of the arms.

      Hi Christine this pup is lovely ‘she’ looks like my Tibetan terrier, Poppy, after she’s been clipped for the summer (she normally looks like a mini old English sheepdog aka dulux dog when she has a full coat) she flops into most of the positions you have posted too, lol, your pup has really made me smile 😁 thank you for brightening my day

        Oh I'm so pleased Jayne, she was my first sale on the morning of the craft fair I think having her fully jointed made her look so real. I miss her, for a while she was by my computer in the " rub my tummy" position so I'll have to make another soon.

        Thanks Elizabeth, He has a lovely new home now with a little girl who couldn't stop hugging him. He'll have a little brother or sister soon he was so nice to make.

        @Christine R: I can imagine it was good to make, I love that they have all their own personality when they are made. Look forward to seeing the next one.

        Thanks Helen, This wool is a bit unusual and very easy to knit with as it's hairy rather than furry. So you can leave it hairy or brush it and make it furry. I use a toothbrush for my brushing it works well on eyelash or the furry yarns it pulls out any caught strands without pulling any stitches.

      How clever to adapt a pattern and bring patch to life. If I had knitted him I don't think I could part with him 🐕

        Thanks Jackie and I know what you mean, I'm very tempted especially when I look at that fat tummy, just like the real thing.
