Simplest instructions ever, but when I made it, thanks to my awesome skills, it turned into a rat, so I used extra sock parts and pipe cleaners, and turned it into a bat. *sigh* My bat's cute though
I love this tutorial. I have a pair of tealish colored plaid socks that I'm going to use to make one for my 3 y/o son. I want the body on mine to be a little longer, so I'm going to use both socks from the pair. I love dollar store socks. =)
Batiste, perhaps you could make this dog out of another old sock, just for practice purposes? Then you might be able to adjust the length for the ears and legs without fear of messing your fuzzy grey sock up. I'm not sure what to suggest about the fraying, unless you mixed and matched and used a second sock for the smaller parts (tail, legs, ears?).
This is very much like a beloved dog lost by my daughter several years ago and for which I have been looking for a pattern all over the internets! I have a fuzzy gray sock to use, to replicate the beloved lost dog, and I have a couple of extras to use in case I mess up, which is very likely. Also the puppy I am trying to replace had longer ears and legs. Hm. My only worry is that the fuzzy sock unravels when I cut it. Anyone have any ideas? Should I immediately hit it with the Fray Check?
