Bernie the Dog
Meet Bernie, the adorable puppy that’ll steal your heart! This charming pattern, designed by Amanda Berry @fluffandfuzz, features a delightful little dog who is worked primarily in stockinette stitch, complemented by cozy garter stitch ears. Bernie is the perfect companion for those who adore knitting, as they come to life with just a few knitting techniques. The pattern creatively incorporates Kitchener stitch grafting, making it a great project for confident beginners and experienced knitters alike.
Bernie loves outings in the park, savoring chocolate cookies (but remember, chocolate is a no-go for real dogs!), and enjoys heaps of affectionate hugs! This lovable pup is knitted using high-quality acrylic DK yarns and is crafted on single pointed needles, rather than in the round, which can make it easier for beginner knitters to manage.
In addition to Kitchener stitch, this pattern guides you through essential techniques including casting on and off, executing knits and purls, and performing both increases and decreases. To complete Bernie, you'll learn the art of seaming, ensuring your finished project is neat and professional-looking.
Whether you're looking for a project that showcases your knitting skills or seeking a sweet companion for your household, this Bernie puppy knitting pattern is sure to delight! Download your pattern now and let the fun begin—knit your very own Bernie to hug and cherish!
