Pup in Sock

This delightful knitting pattern guides you through creating an adorable little dog, measuring approximately 5cm in height. Perfect for both beginner and experienced knitters, this project requires only a small amount of DK yarn—just 5g for the dog and an additional 5g for its charming stocking. Utilizing double-pointed needles to craft i-cords, the dog and stocking are knitted flat and sewn together at the end, making this an enjoyable and straightforward knitting experience.

The skill level required is basic, so if you're familiar with fundamental techniques such as knit, purl, k2tog (knit two together), p2tog (purl two together), yarn forward (yf), yarn back (yb), and slip stitch, you're all set to create this project. If you don't have access to toy stuffing, an excellent alternative is to use cotton wool, which works well for filling your knitted creation.

This pattern is not only simple but also a delightful addition to your knitting repertoire, making it a great way to use up leftover yarn. Plus, gifting a handmade knitted dog adds a personal touch to any occasion! Start your knitting adventure today and bring this cute little dog to life!
