This pattern is available for free.

You will need:
10g colour one DK weight yarn
20g colour two DK weight yarn
Scraps of black yarn for details
Fabric/yarn scraps for stuffing (or recycled toy stuffing)
4mm knitting needles

Want to try different sizes? For a small corgi try DK and 3.5mm needles and for a larger corgi try Aran with 4.5mm needles.

Reduce tip: Swap yarn oddments with other people in your WI rather than buying extra 100g of yarn can make up to 4 corgis!

Recycle tip: odd ends of yarn can be used to fill small spaces like the legs and nose.

Reduce tip: if you only have finer yarn, hold two strands together to make a DK or aran weight.

Reuse tip: gift wrapping ribbons make great collars if you don’t want to knit one.

Introduction
WInnie is made by first knitting the back legs, which are worked into the body. The head is knitted separately and stitched in place, along with the front legs. Ears, collar and patch of fluff are added last, along with face details. Leave 30cm tails on all pieces to allow easy stitching up.
