1 TASSELLED PUPPY COAT

You can create the perfect easy-care, washable coat for your dog using the Heirloom Dazzle 100% acrylic range. Featuring flirty tasselled fringing, this coat is worked in colourful stripes and a simple rib pattern. Cute!

2 NEUTRAL EASY RUG

This style-driven striped rug is made using Panda Magnum 8 ply. It’s knitted in five separate strips and worked in simple stocking stitch. The strips are sewn together and finished with a garter stitch border.

3 TERRAZZO FRINGED THROW

A fun quick-knit project, this gorgeous striped throw is knitted using 7mm needles and two strands of yarn together. It’s worked in rows on a circular needle using a mix of garter stitch and stocking stitch.
