Lila The Puppy is a sweet little knitted dog who is ready for a nice long nap. Her wrinkly face, back, and bottom make her extra special. This pattern uses just one 100g or 3.5 oz ball of yarn. I used self-striping yarn so there is no need to change colours! Lila can be made for any age - just leave out the safety eyes and nose for little ones.

Lila The Puppy is 33cm or 13 inches long.
