When I couldn’t find a pattern featuring Shih Tzu, Lhasa Apso, or Bichon type dogs, with those endearing floppy ears and short little snouts, I knew I had to write one.

Written to fit 6-12 months, it’s adaptable with some math to other sizes though the pattern repeat is on the wide side (21 stitches).

Includes links to useful tutorials; suitable for an advanced beginner knitter.
