Old English Sheepdog
This adorable knitted Old English Sheepdog is made by knitting loop stitches. If you are new to the technique, here is a tutorial on How to Knit Loops. Note that owing to the nature of the looped knit, for safety reasons this toy is not suitable for babies or younger children.
This pattern has been designed by Amanda Berry @fluffandfuzz using acrylic DK yarns, and is knitted flat on single pointed needles.
