A long, lovable knitted dachshund with floppy button-on ears, a shiny black nose and a cheeky tail – and three knitted coats to dress him in: a blue and white striped sailor vest, a spring meadow with flower buttons and a festive Christmas cover. Make him red, brown or chocolate; he is a great draught excluder, cushion or cuddly friend.
A knitting pattern by Svetlana Zabelina with step-by-step instructions, tips and process photos. The dog and all three covers are included.
