Product Details

Snooker the Balloon Dog is a whimsical interpretation in yarn of a classic balloon animal. A series of stuffed, roughly cylindrical segments is wrapped into a final shape that can stand carefully on its own. Unlike a glass sculpture, however, Snooker won’t shatter if it falls over.

Techniques:

• knit two stitches together (k2tog)

• knit front and back in the same stitch (kfb)

• lifted left increase (LLI)

Although the pattern uses fingering weight yarn, Snooker can be knit from any weight. To knit a denser fabric that doesn’t show stuffing, use DPNs that are a size or two smaller than usual for the yarn.
