Snooker the Balloon Dog
Snooker the Balloon Dog is a whimsical interpretation in yarn of a classic balloon animal. A series of stuffed, roughly cylindrical segments is wrapped into a final shape that can stand carefully on its own. Unlike a glass sculpture, however, Snooker won’t shatter if it falls over.
Needles: US 1 / 2.25 mm DPNs
Materials: About .2 oz / 6.2 g of fiber stuffing for toys
Notions: Stitch markers (optional), tapestry needle to weave in ends.
Techniques:
• knit two stitches together (k2tog)
• knit front and back in the same stitch (kfb)
• lifted left increase (LLI)
Although the pattern uses fingering weight yarn, Snooker can be knit from any weight. To knit a denser fabric that doesn’t show stuffing, use DPNs that are a size or two smaller than usual for the yarn.
