During my recent knit-exploits for Knit-for-Nowt, I noticed a plea for dog glove puppets. I knitted a couple and then amended the pattern slightly to make a dog Worry Monster. Well, it didn't matter how hard I tried, I just could not make it look scary enough. So I have decided to keep this one for future grand babies or great nieces/nephews.
It is knitted with dk yarn doubled and stuffed with child-friendly stuffing. It measures about 12" long, so it will be a good, cuddly armful for someone.
Because I didn't actually send this one to Knit-for-Nowt, the pattern is still a lot of scribbled amendments on another pattern. Maybe I should write it up properly. What do you think?
It is darling, Una, and I bet a lot of grandma's will love to knit it!
ReplyDeleteThank you, Joanne. I hope so!
DeleteHe's a cutie pie. I like his happy smile and his stocky little legs. I am in the middle of making one of the dog puppets you posted a bit ago - white with blue ears, I think? The head portion seems SO long, but I'm sure it will all work out well. Mine is a green/brown in the body, and will have bright red ears.
ReplyDeleteI agree the head seems long. But when you fold it in half it will all make sense. Looking forward to seeing it!
DeleteHe is adorable.
ReplyDeleteI know! Thank you.
DeleteOh he is too cute, Una! Somebody, someday is going to love cuddling with that puppy.
ReplyDeleteThank you. I would have loved something like this. It really is soft and cuddly.
DeleteHe's gorgeous, Una!!!
ReplyDeleteIsn't he! Thank you, Maria.
DeleteI agree. Write it up properly ... especially since I have a grand baby!! :-)
ReplyDeleteOK, but only if you promise to knit one!!!
