Knitted Dog Pattern - Floppy-Eared Spaniel

Knit a little dog with wonderfully floppy ears and a very good sit. This original knitted dog pattern makes a golden spaniel with long cocoa ears, a cream muzzle, four paws and an embroidered expression. The 10 illustrated A4 pages combine complete written rows and stitch counts with clear construction drawings, a piece checklist, finishing guidance, colour ideas and a sprinkling of checked dog trivia. Cosy cream pages, botanical borders and friendly rounded lettering carry the animal-series style right through the guide. WHAT YOU WILL MAKE A seated decorative spaniel, expected to be around 16-18 cm tall at the stated gauges. All ten pieces are knitted flat on two straight needles, then sewn and stuffed. Stocking stitch shapes the body, head, legs and tail; garter stitch gives the ears and muzzle a gentle texture. YARN AND SKILLS Smooth DK yarn: allow 50 g honey, 20 g cocoa and 10 g cream, plus dark embroidery yarn. Start with 3 mm needles and adjust to the gauges in the guide. Suitable for a confident beginner comfortable with knit, purl, kfb, k2tog and sewing small shaped pieces. No circular knitting or crochet is needed.
