Measuring approximately 32 cm (12.6 inches) in length and 20 cm (7.87 inches) in height, this plush dachshund is not only cute but also the ideal size for cuddling.

Your new furry friend will be dressed in a stylish cap and scarf, both of which can be easily removed to customize your toy's look. Create a unique gift or a lovely addition to your home décor with this adorable dachshund pattern.

To get started, you'll need the following materials: four double-pointed needles in a size that suits your chosen yarn weight. We recommend using needles that are one or two sizes smaller than the yarn suggests to ensure a sturdy and durable fabric. For this project, you will need size 4 (3.5mm) needles. The yarn colors you'll require include black for the body, orange for the legs and tail, and blue for the cap and scarf. Additionally, gather some toy stuffing, plastic safety eyes and nose, a yarn needle, a stitch holder, and orange felt for the cheeks and eyebrows. You may also choose to utilize needle felting techniques or ready-made felt to enhance your dachshund’s facial features.

This pattern is ideal for knitters of all skill levels looking to create a beloved stuffed animal.
