What you need to know

It’s puppy love at first sight with Sachiyo Ishii’s sweet-faced pooch, wearing a striped jumper.

With floppy ears, wide eyes, and a perky tail, wrapped up in a bold striped jumper with pom-pom ties, this baby dachshund is totally irresistible; the body is started from the hind legs as a flat piece of stocking stitch that is seamed together, so just follow the easy shaping for all the pieces, and once assembled, the jumper is sewn on to help conceal your seams.
