Bangers is a very happy dog today, as they have a new bone toy to play with. You could also make the bone as a pet toy for your own four-legged friend. If you are wondering about this dog’s name, in the UK sausages are affectionately known as bangers! Designed by Amanda Berry @fluffandfuzz, the dog and bone are knitted in acrylic DK yarns on single pointed needles (not in the round). For confident beginners and above, other techniques used include casting on and off, knits, purls, increases and decreases, and seaming to finish.
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.
- Bangers is 26cm long
