What you need to know

Meet Rodney, the star of Pete Wicks: For Dogs' Sake TV programme, in association with Dogs Trust.

Say hello to Rodney the Rottweiler – the lovable rescue dog who stole Pete Wicks’ heart and is now on a mission to help his four-legged friends find their own new homes. He’s knitted using simple shaping techniques including kfb increases, k2tog decreases and stocking stitch, with separate pieces for his head, body, ears, legs and tail, all carefully seamed and stuffed to bring him to life.

Our knitted Rodney also wears a yellow scarf to help champion his friends at Dogs Trust and remind us all that every dog deserves a second chance, a loving home and someone in their corner. Find out more about the work of Dogs Trust charity and donate today at dogstrust.org.uk
