| I actually have my own knitting pattern for a particular dog, but I need it reducing in size so the actual dog is quite a bit smaller.
I can stitch really well but can't knit! If you can reduce a pattern, please let me know. |

| It would work if you used smaller needles and say a four ply instead of double knitting wool or a three ply instead of four ply. What ply should it be knitted in? |

| The particular yarn I need to use is a DK fur. If I used smaller needles (or maybe someone else did as I am not very good at knitting!), would that be the answer?
If so, could anyone knit the pattern for me (which I will supply) and I will supply the yarn?
Please let me know.... |

| Obviously I am not the expert in this but using smaller needles may result in a tougher finish i.e. not as soft as the one knitted with larger size needles. Am I wrong?

| It looks as though we do not have any real experts on the subject?

| I know Ismet. Surely with all these lovely people out here there must be someone who can knit expertly?
Please help if you can... |

| Hi Twinkletoes, I'm no expert, but I do knit a lot and quite well. If you use smaller needles it will just come out tight and thicker.
If you can find 4 ply furry wool and use say size 10 or 31/4 needles, that would do it.
Otherwise if you don't need to have it too shaggy knit it in ordinary 4 ply and brush it with a wire brush when it is finished. I have a Bagpuss pattern which is made flufy in this way, |
