So my mate, Sue, gifted me the Animal Hats book that my mum, brother and sis-in-law all got Christmas presents from. So, being a January birthday and it still being the depths of winter - we had snow last night, I thought Sue herself might like one. I let her choose what she would like before Christmas and she went for the dog. Awesome!
Here he is with his ears down. They are double layered garter stitch and thick and squishy and cosy.
But he's a clever design and has buttons that you can hook his ears onto so he has a Deputy Dawg look, too. Cuteness!
He is fleecy lined and I changed the pattern slightly to give him different nose (this is the panda's pattern) as I didn't like the one I was supposed to do. And I added the little whisker pad buttons as well to make him more......well, more like a dog. So I'm a bit happier with him; he is my least favourite pattern in the book but do love how this turned out. And he's my first finish-along finish! (my first quarter proposal is here) so I'm off to a great start!
