One Sided Dog Pillow

This is only my second pattern... and it has not been tested... but once again i wrote it down as i made it... so there shouldn't be any issue... let me know if anything needs to be changed!
Enjoy!

THank you for sharing! I was wondering why it was called "one sided"? I know I'm missing something so obvious that everyone else sees immediately.

[ratdog]

The face is on one side. It is 2-D.

Now, IMO this looks like an internet character that my kids love!

[Salsixteen]

i found a picture online and decided that i would make it as a teddy... i am not too sure what the character is...

yes... and it is called one-sided because like Ratdog said... it's 2d!

[pinsandneedles]

So cute!!!!

Any chance you'll design a kitty for us?

[Salsixteen]

not too sure about a kitty version at the moment... right now i am working on a baby blanket for my first child that i am expecting in April... and also working on a pattern for a little robot amigurami...

we will have to see what happens down the road... but i will keep it in mind!

[pinsandneedles]

Wow! You sound busy! Thanks for whatever patterns you do share!! I love them!

[Tina M.]

Congrats on the upcoming new arrival. What a wonderful way to celebrate spring. I love your creation. I agree with ratdog, it does remind me of a character on tv. Very cute.

[darski]

OK... I am old and haven't watched a TV (to speak of ) for 5 years but could someone show me the dog parts.

it looks really great/well done but I can't see "dog"

[DieTine]

This is so cute! Thank you very much for sharing the pattern.
