The Summer Issue of Petite Purls features "Babes in Toyland" knitted and crocheted toys and dolls, amigurumi patterns, small and larger. One of the cutest designs is by noted knitting designer, Debbie Bliss, a knitted and stuffed Scottie dog free pattern. Scottish Terriers are a favorite in many families and were in KIP's as a child. These crochet and knit puppets and toy patterns make wonderful birthday, shower, or holiday gifts. Time to get started.
The finished size of this Scottish Terrier is 4" by 8". The free pattern calls for one skein of yarn with a gauge of 28 sts = 1 inch and uses a US size 3 (3.5mm) needle.
You'll also find 'Sheldon' the turtle pattern knitting links on Petite Purls, a stuffed toy, Ruth Homrighaus's first written pattern, which has been so popular on Ravelry and originally offered on Knitty. Shelton finishes at 6 by 9 inches and has a slip off shell for added intrigue.
