Toy poodle

Poodles come in five distinct sizes, determined by their shoulder height: the adorably tiny teacup poodle, the petite toy poodle, the charming medium miniature poodle, the substantial klein poodle, and the large standard poodle! This delightful knitted creation is not only a toy poodle but also a poodle toy, making it the perfect addition to any yarn lover's collection. With its striking studded collar, this handmade poodle exudes a bold personality and an energetic stance!

This enchanting poodle is knitted using 2.00 mm double-pointed needles (UK 14, US 0). Working with such fine needles results in a densely woven fabric, ensuring that the stuffing stays well concealed and doesn’t peek through. The eye-catching collar was crafted using 1.25 mm needles in a miniature size, though you can opt for larger needles and heavier yarn for a chunkier design if you prefer. This particular 12 cm model was beautifully created using Scheepjes Softy (479) in a lovely beige shade, but you can also experiment with any type of bouclé yarn to achieve that signature curly fur that poodles are known for. It's a fun, fast, and easy knitting project, featuring techniques such as knitting in the round and short rows, making it accessible to knitters of all skill levels.

Have poodles of fun knitting this adorable plush pet! Whether you're making it for yourself or as a gift, this project will surely bring joy to anyone who receives it. Happy knitting! - Viv
