Dave the Stash Busting Dachshund - Knit Flat & In the Round Versions
If you’ve ever thought about naming a dog “Dave,” you’re not alone! This unique name adds a touch of humor and character, and if I had my way, I would proudly have three adorable pups named Dave, Steve, and Ian. The breed doesn’t matter; it’s all about the fun names! Let me introduce you to Dave.
Meet Dave, the adorable and curious hound who’s sure to steal your heart! Officially, he’s a dachshund, but fondly known as a sausage dog or wiener dog. These charming little creatures were originally bred to track down and flush out badgers and other burrowing animals. In a twist of fate, Dave has inherited a unique talent that goes beyond traditional hunting: he’s become a master at locating your hidden yarn stash! Dave will sniff out that ball of sock wool you thought had disappeared years ago or that secret stash tucked away in the arm of a winter coat you never wear (even if your partner doesn't notice it). No hiding from Dave!
This delightful knitted companion can be created in any wool gauge; simply choose needles that are a few sizes smaller than those recommended on the yarn label. For my unique Dave, I opted for DK/sportweight yarn. Below, you’ll find suggested yarn options to make your own charming pup.
Get ready to embark on a fun knitting adventure with the Dave pattern. Not only will you create a whimsical addition to your home, but you’ll also enjoy the process of bringing this lovable sausage dog to life. Whether for yourself, a gift, or simply to add some joy to your knitting collection, the Dave knitting pattern is sure to inspire creativity.
