Jacob is a little puppy with a multi-coloured coat. He is completely poseable having legs and head which can be turned into different positions. He is great for using up all those little odds and ends you have left over from other projects - the more colourful the better!
He is knitted flat using any DK yarn and on 3mm needles throughout.
The pattern is clearly written, easy to follow and has many photos to help you through making him up.
Jacob the Puppy is a downloadable knitting pattern designed by Phoenixknits for creating an adorable multi-coloured stuffed toy puppy. This intermediate-level knitting project produces a finished puppy approximately 9 inches in height, making it an ideal size for a decorative toy or gift. The pattern embraces creative colour work, allowing crafters to select their own yarn colours for a truly personalized plush companion.
This pattern creates a complete stuffed toy puppy with distinct body parts including a head, body, and limbs. The finished toy features a charming, three-dimensional form suitable for display or play. Jacob is designed as a multi-coloured creation, with the designer intentionally leaving colour change decisions to the maker's preference, encouraging individual creativity and customization in the final appearance.
Yarn Weight: DK (double knitting) weight yarn is used throughout the pattern. The designer notes an important consideration: not all DK-weight yarns of the same ply are identical in actual thickness. Some colours may knit slightly thinner or thicker than others, which can result in minor variations in limb size. This variation does not significantly detract from the finished toy's appearance.
Additional Materials Required:
Jacob the Puppy is constructed using fundamental knitting techniques suitable for an intermediate-level crafter. The pattern employs stockinet stitch (abbreviated as ss), which is created by alternating knit rows and purl rows. This classic stitch creates a smooth, finished fabric ideal for a stuffed toy's outer surface.
Shaping Techniques: The pattern utilizes decreases to shape the puppy's form. Specifically, knit two together (k2tog) and purl two together (p2tog) decreases are employed to reduce stitch counts where needed, allowing the designer to create the three-dimensional shape of the toy's head, body, and limbs.
Colour Work: Rather than providing specific row-by-row colour changes, the pattern instructs the maker to introduce colour changes at logical points in the construction. This approach gives crafters flexibility in their colour selection and placement, making each Jacob unique.
The pattern uses standard knitting abbreviations throughout:
Designated as an intermediate-level project, Jacob the Puppy requires solid foundational knitting skills including comfort with basic stitches, decreases, and colour changes. The pattern's flexibility regarding colour placement makes it accessible while still offering enough complexity to engage experienced knitters. The finished toy demonstrates the satisfaction of creating a complete, three-dimensional object through knitting.

Summarized by AI
Excellent pattern. Easy to follow. My only caveat is that I am not happy with the way the head is attached and am considering sewing it on more securely. The way the pattern creator suggests makes the puppy poseable but perhaps not so practical as a toy for a small child.
The instructions were easy to follow and I particularly liked the photographs to show how to put the dog together.
Easy to knit with odds and ends of yarn, fun creating his little character, will be adored by children and quite a few adults alike.
So easy to knit and lovely when finished
The pattern was very detailed and easy to follow.
The pattern was easy to read and turned out really well. A great use for left over yarn from other projects.
I am an experienced knitter and maker of knitted toys and I found this pattern did not include very good instructions when making up, for instance precise details of where to place the legs. It looks good now it is made up but it was not easy to get right.
Everyone loves him. Easy to knit, ended up on Google to put his legs on. Found that a bit harder. I am 82 years old so not as “savvy” as some.
Clear instructions lots of pictures to show making up
The puppy turned out great. "Patches" is very colorful on the couch. It took a while to knit, but the result is worth it. I now have an idea for a new color scheme and will soon start.
