Puppy with a Pullover

Introducing a delightful knitting pattern for a charming little puppy toy that features an adorable blend of beagle and border collie traits! This sweet puppy is not only irresistibly cute but also a fantastic project for knitters of all levels. The pattern includes instructions for knitting the toy and its cozy pullover flat, followed by seaming and assembling the pieces for a finished product that your child will love. The face of the puppy features simple intarsia techniques, which are easy to follow, and you have the flexibility to omit these details completely. Prefer a minimalist look? You can knit the entire puppy in a single color for a unique style that still showcases your knitting prowess.

For safety reasons when making this toy for young children, we recommend embroidering the eyes instead of using safety eyes or buttons, providing a soft and safe play option.

We suggest our favorite yarns that work particularly well for soft toys, but feel free to explore your creative options! This pattern is an excellent way to use up leftover yarn from previous knitting projects, making it both economical and eco-friendly.

**ERRATA:** Please note that the arms' instructions should read Row 15-23: work 9 rows in stockinette stitch (st st). The head instructions should read Row 22: [skpo] x 8, k1, [k2tog] x 8 (resulting in 17 stitches). We appreciate your understanding and ensure this charming puppy toy will be a delightful addition to your knitting repertoire. Happy knitting!
