FAQs

Where can I purchase the King Cole P9188 pattern?

The pattern can be purchased from various online retailers specializing in knitting patterns and supplies, or from local yarn stores.

What type of yarn should I use?

The pattern specifies King Cole Tufty Super Chunky yarn. Using a different yarn may affect the finished size and appearance of the toy.

What knitting skills are needed?

This pattern is suitable for knitters with intermediate skills, who are familiar with basic stitches (knit, purl, increase, decrease) and techniques.

Can I substitute the yarn?

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.

How do I care for the finished toy?

Hand wash the toy gently with mild detergent in cool water. Air dry flat. Avoid using a machine dryer.

What needle size should I use?

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.

What are the finished sizes of the dogs?

The pattern creates two sizes: Large Dog 15 in / 38 cm tall and Small Dog 12 in / 30 cm tall.

Troubleshooting

Difficulty understanding a specific instruction in the pattern.

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.
