Lila The Puppy
Introducing Lila The Puppy, a delightful and cuddly knitted dog that is perfect for snuggling and naptime! With her adorable wrinkly face, charming back, and cute bottom, Lila is sure to capture the hearts of puppies lovers of all ages. This easy-to-follow knitting pattern requires just one 100g (3.5 oz) ball of yarn, making it a quick and accessible project for knitters of any skill level. I personally used self-striping yarn to create Lila, which means there's no need to change colors—just knit away and watch her come to life!
Lila can be made for any age group. For those crafting for little ones, simply omit the safety eyes and nose for a safer version. Plus, a great aspect of this pattern is that you can sell your completed Lila The Puppy! Just remember to credit me as the original designer.
Materials Needed: To create Lila The Puppy, you will need 3.5mm or US size 4 or UK size 9 knitting needles, one 100g (3.5 oz) ball of Elle Charity Double Knit Pullskein in the beautiful colour Italiano Rose (233), stuffing material, a 22mm black safety nose, two 13mm brown safety eyes, a set of fake eyelashes, a brown fabric marker, a colourless fabric marker blender, clear adhesive, 75cm (30 inches) of 10mm wide light blue strap, a 22mm x 15mm white buckle, and a 30mm silver clasp.
