Pug with Anorak
Introducing a delightful cuddly toy that’s sure to win the hearts of both children and adults alike!

To add a touch of personalization, the accompanying anorak serves as a whimsical accessory, allowing children to dress their toys for any occasion.

However, for a seamless finish, the anorak can also be knit in the round, making it perfect for those who prefer an easier construction method.
Materials Needed for the Pug: You’ll need 100 g of tan chunky/bulky weight yarn (Main Color - MC) for the body, along with 20 g of black or dark brown chunky/bulky weight yarn (Contrast Color - CC) for detailing. Additionally, you will require a small amount of embroidery yarn to create the adorable facial features, two 12-14 mm black buttons or safety eyes for added charm, stuffing to give it that cuddly shape, and a pair of 5 or 5.5 mm (US size 8 or 9) knitting needles. Don’t forget a tapestry needle for finishing touches!
Materials Needed for the Anorak: For the cozy anorak, gather 50 g of worsted weight yarn, a 4 mm (US size 6) circular needle, and 4 stitch markers to keep track of your stitches. You may also want to have some scrap yarn on hand, a darning needle for weaving in ends, and a button or ribbon to embellish the finished piece, although these are optional and entirely up to your creativity!
