You'll be creating the Basic Puppy Pattern in this course but I've also adapted the pattern by following the Custom Puppy Workbook and referring to the Muzzle and Ear dossiers and have created patterns for a Whippet, Dachshund and, my most recent, Dalmatian which you can also have as patterns.
I've started on a Pug pattern and I think he'll be my next puppy... I'm also going to create a bull-mastiff pup for my son's girlfriend!!
In the meantime I thought you might want to see which yarn I used for each of the completed patterns (all this info. is also written in the patterns and using 3.50mm straight needles)
Whippet (I also used 3.75mm needles for the body):
2 balls Drops Baby Alpaca Silk shade 8108 Light Grey
1 ball Drops Kid-Silk shade 43 Blue Wind
1 ball Drops Kid-Silk shade 12 Beige
1 ball Knitting for Olive shade Caramel
small amount Drops Kid-Silk shade 15 Dark Brown
Dachshund
1 skein West Yorkshire Spinners Exquisite 4-ply shade 403 Dusk (light-brown)
1 ball Drops Kid-Silk shade 15 Dark Brown
2 x balls Drops Sky shade 11 Hazelnut (mid-brown)
1 x ball Drops Kid-Silk shade 41 Powder (beige-pink)
Dalmatian
Drops Alpaca (4-ply) shade 1101 White x 2 50g balls
Drops Kid-Silk (lace-weight Mohair) shade 40 Pink Pearl x 1 25g ball
Drops Kid-Silk (lace-weight Mohair) shade 01 Off-White x 3 25g balls
Yarn D approx. 3 m / 3.5 yards of dark brown aran yarn for Upper Inner Mouth I used Loti Lettlopi (aran-weight) shade 0053 Brown
Drops Kid-Silk (lace-weight Mohair) shade 22 Ash Grey x quarter 25g ball
Drops Kid-Silk (lace-weight Mohair) shade 38 Chalk x quarter 25g ball
plus small amount of dark brown mohair yarn for the markings I used Drops Kid-silk shade 15
P.S I wish I'd added a pink mohair to the paws... maybe another time!
For the Pug - I'm playing with these yarns at the moment:
Drops Alpaca shade 0517 Medium Grey-Mix

Hice mi primer cachorrito. Estoy muy orgulloso de ello porque no hablo inglés en absoluto. Descargué el más joven que acaba de llegar a la web de Domestika para agrandar mi pequeña familia.
