This cute amigurumi puppy by Cilla Webb is fun to make, and comes complete with knitted outfit. See free pattern below.
In her new book Amigurumi Friends, Cilla Webb has made 10 cute and cuddly knitted toys that both adults and kids will adore. Choose from Miss Sheep, Miss Fox, Miss Puss, Master Monkey, Master Woof (this pattern), Master Teddy, Master Wabbit, Miss Squirrel, Master Giraffe and Miss Mouse. Each toy comes with its own outfit – a superhero cape, mask and boots for Master Maurice Monkey; a pretty dress, shawl and shoes for Miss Marcia Mouse; and a karate outfit, black belt and training mat for Master Geoffrey Giraffe.
Each project requires intermediate-level knitting skills and uses knit, purl and basic sewing skills. Knitting techniques are included in the front of the book, with images to illustrate.
