Description

Peter is a puppy shaped cushion to cuddle on the sofa. The pup is knitted in reverse stockinette stitch, so the bumpy purl side of the work is the right side, and the smooth knit side is the wrong side. This gives a lovely cuddly texture and interesting colour pattern. Four different shades of blue yarn are used to knit the striped body, but you could knit in one colour if you prefer. Designed by Amanda Berry @fluffandfuzz, Peter is knitted in acrylic DK yarns on single pointed needles (not in the round). For confident beginners and above, other techniques used include casting on and off, knits, purls, increases and decreases, knitting stripes, and seaming to finish.
