Halloween dogs
Welcome to our delightful knitting pattern for creating adorable dogs in boots! Whether you choose to make a classic plain dog or a charming dog adorned with brown patches, this pattern is perfect for all skill levels. You’ll only need small amounts of DK (8-ply) yarn from your stash. These cute canine companions are knitted flat on double-pointed needles (DPNs) due to their compact size. Be sure to leave long tails at cast-on and fasten-off for easy sewing later.

- 10g Rowan Pure Wool Superwash DK (8-ply), white (shade 013, Enamel)

- Small amounts of dark brown, brown, and grey DK yarn
Needles and Supplies: You will need 2.75 mm (US2) double-pointed needles (DPNs) specifically for creating i-cords. Remember, although this pattern is knitted flat, the DPNs are essential for the tiny details. Additionally, gather the following supplies:
- Stitch holder
- Toy stuffing for added fluff
- Chenille needle or a tapestry needle with a fairly sharp point and a large eye for easy threading
The finished size of these adorable dogs will be approximately 10 cm, making them a perfect little project to complete in no time!
