Wally Whippet has to be one of my favourite designs of this year. He has been a joy to knit.

I’ve designed him as a door stop with a weighted body but if you prefer you can just stuff his body and make him as a softie. Either way I’m sure you’ll love him.

He has small iCord eyebrows and an iCord tail. The iCord is simple enough to do using double pointed needles. There are a load of useful, easy to follow videos on YouTube.

He is knitted flat using 3mm needles and Aran yarn. I’ve used a tubing and weighted pellets to make him. The links for these items are included within the pattern.

You’ll also require:
Oddments of Black & White Aran yarn ( for nose & Eyes)
Oddments of Pink and Brown DK yarn for Tongue & Collar
2 x 20mm Black Domed Buttons for Eyes

I hope you’ll enjoy knitting him as much as I have.
