Daniel the Spaniel

Daniel the Spaniel is a very obedient and lovable hound! He comes fully house trained and promises not to sleep on your bed (unless you let him!). An easy to follow, delightful pattern for your very own Daniel the Spaniel. The pattern contains over 30 pictures to help you along the way. I have also included a little tutorial on how to knit the loop stitch (for his spaniel-esque ears) and how to gather a cast on seam if these techniques are not familiar to you. If you get stuck with the loop knitting then I have included an alternative instruction to knit a non-fluffy ear using garter stitch (all knit) instead. There is a small amount of intarsia but nothing that should get you worked up into a frantic knitting frenzy! Again, if you prefer to knit his head and body in one plain colour then that works just fine too!

The sample was worked in Rowan Cashsoft DK (now discontinued). A substitute yarn is shown below.
