Patch

Do you remember the Little Cotton Rabbit Fox I posted two or three weeks ago?  Well, the Little Cotton Rabbit series of patterns do not include a dog pattern, which seems rather odd to me because there is a patter for both a Boy Cat and a Girl Cat.

So, I decided to make the Boy Fox in a different colour to see if it would look like a dog.

I thought a little black and white dog would look good until I realised that a black nose on a black background would not show up.  I decided to stitched his nose in pink and was feeling quite pleased with myself until my husband pointed out that no dog has a pink nose.  Opps!

His ears are made in three colours - black with a white tip and a pink lining.  I tried to make his tail slimmer than the fox tail but I think it should have been even slimmer.

I made him a jumper with a pretty blue sail boat on the front and matching blue shorts.

Here he is with his foxy friend.  Both the fox and the my black and whits dog are made in Aran weight yarn and their clothes were made from double knit.

I hope you have a great weekend.
