This delightful jumper is worked in stocking stitch and has striped sleeves. The dog’s face is knitted in the intarsia method, though his ears are knitted separately and stitched on afterwards. There’s a nicely tactile contrast between the bouclé yarn of the dog contrasted with the smooth yarn of the jumper. Kids will love to tickle the little dog’s fur!
