Handcraft “Asta” the West Highland White Terrier with the instructions in this pattern.

This little guy is irresistible with his alert and perky face and cuddly fuzzy coat. He stands five inches tall and four inches nose to tail.

West Highland White Terriers are extremely lively, cocky and spunky. They get along good with children and are friendly even with strangers. Even though they are small and compact, Westies make very good watchdogs.

Owners need to display a firm, self-assured, consistent leadership and there will be few behavioral problems such as biting, guarding food and furniture. Westies like to dig and bark and love companionship.
