Knitting Pattern: Soft Puppy Toy (EN/FR)
Meet your Soft Puppy — a quiet little companion with a gentle presence and timeless charm. With its relaxed posture, floppy ears, and subtle expression, this design captures the feeling of a well-loved toy — simple, comforting, and easy to connect with. It’s the kind of piece that sits quietly by your side, adding warmth to any space.
Whether you’re making a thoughtful gift or creating something special for yourself, this puppy is designed to bring a sense of calm and softness that lasts beyond the making.
The pattern is worked in the round for smooth, seamless shaping. After knitting, the pieces are lightly felted to create a cohesive, plush texture, giving the puppy its soft and natural finish. Each part is then carefully assembled to bring the character to life.
