Sweet Potato Chain Dog Toy Pattern

The Sweet Potato Chain is a great way to add a bit of extra fun into your dog's day! By using small, dime-store squeaky toys, this play toy has the added bonus of squeaking in three separate places. For small dogs, you can stop knitting after one potato while for larger dogs, why not knit five potatoes and then stitch the ends together to form a ring? Knit in the round, you can easily make a toy for yourself as well as for friends that are also dog lovers. The possibilities are endless with this fun and creative toy.
