The original Pug pattern from 2009 was updated in September 2024. The new pattern now makes a smaller (8”) toy, and includes a French Bulldog (Frenchie) variation. The original anorak pattern has improved shaping, and extra photos to help with construction.

This is an intermediate level pattern. Skills required include stockinette and garter stitch, a variety of increases and decreases, intarsia, short row shaping, picking up stitches, and seaming.
