Bangers the Sausage Dog is a very happy dog today as he has a new bone toy to play with. If you are wondering about his name, in the UK sausages are affectionately known as bangers! Bangers is approximately 26 cm long and 14.5 cm tall (including the tail). The bone is 12 cm long and 6.5 cm wide, and could also be used as a pet’s toy. All pieces are knitted flat (back and forth) on a pair of straight single-pointed knitting needles. You will also need to cast on and off, knit, purl, work increases and decreases, and sew seams.
Contains:
- Instructions for making the dog and bone.
- Measurements are in metric.
- A materials list and recommended yarns.
- The pattern is 6 pages and written in English.
