Blitzer, The Dog

Discover this delightful knitting pattern that offers two options for creating your own charming toy! With the use of DPNs (Double Pointed Needles) size US#4/3.5 mm and a single strand of yarn, your finished toy will measure approximately 20 inches tall. Alternatively, opt for the DPN size US#7/4.5 mm and two strands of yarn to create a larger version, standing around 27 inches tall. This adorable toy is knitted in the round, ensuring a seamless finish, while its garments are crafted separately and expertly attached to the toy for a lovely, polished look.
For this project, you will need sport or medium worsted yarn in a beautiful golden brown color—approximately 210 yards for the single-strand option or 420 yards for the double-strand variant. Additionally, gather remnants of blue, black, white, and dark brown yarn, totaling around 50 yards, to add vibrant detail to your creation.
Please note that the gauge for the single strand of yarn is approximately 18 stitches x 25 rows per 4-inch square. Keep in mind, gauge may vary based on how tightly or loosely you knit, so it's always a good idea to check your gauge before starting your project.
