to center the graphic on the body panel, start graph on row 3 [3, 5, 5, 7, 9, 11] and on stitch 13 (17, 20, 23, 26, 29, 33)


♡ MY COLORWORK INSTRUCTIONS ♡

  • this project must be done in HDC & 1 graph square = 1 HDC

  • must start on an odd row

  • even numbered rows will be the wrong side if you are right handed

  • odd numbered rows will be the wrong side if you are left handed

  • read the graph from right to left on odd rows, and left to right on even rows

click here to read more tips

  • if you make the graphic into a plain tapestry, I would suggest a starting chain of 6 more than the graph to leave 3 on each side, plus one turning chain each row; I would suggest starting graph on row 3 and working two blank rows after the graph is completed


santa’s little helper is the family greyhound from the simpsons tv show; he was adopted after failing a race at christmas and being abandoned by his previous owner because of it

graph is 40 rows by 55 stitches

requires 50g black, 100g brown, 5g white (eyes) (& 200g background color if doing a tapestry as listed above) in medium worsted weight yarn (4)

with 5mm hook & the following gauge: 5 rows of 6 hdc = 2x2” you should have a finished graphic 16 inches tall and 18 inches wide
