This is a cute pattern and lots of fun for kids to play with. If you are fan of this dog breed you will love this pattern.
I used the Cindwood 36 peg 3/8” gauge loom with a worsted weight yarn.
The whole animal was a combo of EW a row and K a row to keep stitches tight but also keep the animal larger in size.
There is a full video tutorial for this animal. I would say this is an intermediate pattern. The animals in done in 3 parts, head, body, and tail. There is minimal sewing involved.
You will need safety eyes and nose, polyfil, approximately 150 yards of worsted yarn, and crafters needle.
You can make this on any 36 peg loom and gauge you will need to adjust the yarn size or gauge size. See my revamp blog on the teddy bear and revamp teddy bear video for help deciding this.
