Bangers is a very happy dog today, as they have a new bone toy to play with. You could also make the bone as a pet toy for your own four-legged friend. If you are wondering about this dog’s name, in the UK sausages are affectionately known as bangers!

Designed by Amanda Berry @fluffandfuzz, the dog and bone are knitted in acrylic DK yarns on single pointed needles (not in the round).
