The pattern can be purchased from various online retailers specializing in knitting patterns and supplies, or from local yarn stores.
The pattern specifies King Cole Tufty Super Chunky yarn. Using a different yarn may affect the finished size and appearance of the toy.
This pattern is suitable for knitters with intermediate skills, who are familiar with basic stitches (knit, purl, increase, decrease) and techniques.
While technically possible, substituting the yarn is not recommended as it will alter the toy's size and texture. If you choose to substitute, match the weight and fiber content as closely as possible.
Hand wash the toy gently with mild detergent in cool water. Air dry flat. Avoid using a machine dryer.
The pattern specifies the yarn to use, but needle size isn't specified in the product data. Refer to the pattern instructions for the recommended needle size for the King Cole Tufty Super Chunky yarn.
The pattern creates two sizes: Large Dog 15 in / 38 cm tall and Small Dog 12 in / 30 cm tall.
Review the instructions carefully, and consult online knitting resources or videos for clarification. Double-check your stitch count.
Purchase additional yarn of the same brand, color, and dye lot from the supplier. Check the pattern to estimate the yarn needed.
To begin, you will need the King Cole P9188 pattern, King Cole Tufty Super Chunky yarn, appropriate knitting needles (size not specified in the product data, refer to pattern), stitch markers, and other basic knitting supplies. Compatibility is straightforward as long as you can source the specified yarn. Ensure you check your gauge before starting the main project. The finished toys should be hand-washed gently with mild detergent and air-dried flat. Avoid using a machine dryer to prevent damage.
