Emo the sock dog

For Valentine's Day last week, I made Boy a SOCK DOG! You can find the pattern at that link, but see below for some pics. This is made of a pair of red and black striped over-the-knee socks from Hot Topic, but you really don't need anything that long... socks coming up to mid-calf would work just as well. I have about 8" left over from the top of each sock.




How can you resist this face?






Half-completed. Back legs, body, and head are stuffed, but front legs, ears, eyes/nose, and tail are either missing or incomplete and just pinned on.





A close-up of the button eyes and nose, and the unfinished ears, all held in place by pins.





Completed doggie, on his side!





Completed doggie, ready for hugging!

Yay!!! He is so cute!
(And you've reminded me that I need to make that sock pigeon that I've been dreaming of...)
