Now that I know this guy has been safely delivered I feel I can show him off on the blog.

This cute little pup was made from a pair of gloves according to the instructions in Sock and Glove. He was really easy and fun to make and when I was finished I had even more fun dressing him up.


Why a pirate? Because this pup was for Joyce and there was just no way he couldn't be a pirate!


Instructions for his pants are also in the book. Instead of hemming I trimmed the bottoms with my pinking shears to get a proper jagdedy edge. His sash is a rectangle of shot cotton; I pulled out threads on all four sides to get a more piraty, less voyageur, look. (Though a voyageur pup would be pretty cute too.) The eye patch is felt and bias tape.


And of course he needed a cutlass. What kind of pirate would go without?
