My Home pet - soon to be yours too!!
Here’s some info:
The puppy was knitted as flat on two needles, joining as you go - I used pick-up stitches to join the legs (for example)

I used two, three and sometimes 4 yarn held together to get lovely texture and tone - but do feel free to knit with whatever yarn you wish - DK or aran if you’re to use just a single yarn

You will also need toy eyes, I’ve suggested 18mm diameter ones and also a 25mm width toy safety nose - links to where I buy my eyes are within the pattern

Stuffing-wise - I’ve taken to stuffing with felt-tops and for the puppy I also added some weighted pellets in the bum area, this adds weight and gives the pup a realistic feel!

Let me know how you get on and please do share pictures of your pet here:
