This delightful knitting pattern for Daniel comes fully house trained and even promises not to sleep on your bed—unless you give him permission! Perfect for both beginner and seasoned knitters, this easy-to-follow pattern includes over 30 detailed pictures to guide you through the crafting process step by step.

To add to the charm, we've included a comprehensive tutorial on how to knit the loop stitch, perfect for creating his adorable spaniel-esque ears. If you're unfamiliar with this technique, fear not! We’ve provided alternative instructions for knitting a non-fluffy ear using simple garter stitch (just knitting every row), making it accessible for knitters of all skill levels. While there is a small amount of intarsia involved in this pattern, it is manageable and shouldn't send you into a knitting frenzy. Should you prefer a simpler project, you can easily knit Daniel's head and body in one solid color without sacrificing style.

The sample for this knitting pattern was originally crafted using Rowan Cashsoft DK yarn, which is now discontinued. However, we have highlighted some fantastic substitute yarn options below to ensure you can easily find the perfect materials for your project.
