King Charles Spaniel

Introducing this adorable knitted Cavalier King Charles Spaniel, elegantly seated on a plush regal cushion and adorned with a majestic royal crown, robe, and orb. Created by the talented designer Amanda Berry, known for her work at @fluffandfuzz, this charming knitting pattern is perfect for intermediate knitters and above who are looking to enhance their skills. Made using high-quality acrylic DK yarns, this delightful toy is crafted on single pointed needles, rather than in the round.

This comprehensive knitting pattern not only guides you through the process of creating the spaniel but also incorporates intricate intarsia colour-work techniques to achieve the classic white flash on the head. You'll learn essential knitting skills such as picking up stitches along an edge, knitting loops, and crafting i-cord with two double-pointed needles (DPNs). Other techniques included are casting on and off, knitting knits and purls, making increases and decreases, and expertly seaming the pieces together to finish off your lovely project.

The charming spaniel measures a proud 22cm tall (when seated), while the accompanying cushion is beautifully sized at 19cm x 16.5cm, and the decorative orb stands at an elegant 6cm tall. This pattern not only allows you to create a stunning display piece or a delightful gift but also provides an excellent opportunity to refine your knitting techniques. Whether you're looking to impress friends and family with your handiwork or simply want to enjoy a cozy knitting session, this knitted Cavalier King Charles Spaniel will surely bring joy to your crafting experience.
