Hot Dog!
Just in time for cookout season! So….I’m going to put the pattern out here on the off chance that someone is actually excited about these wienies and wants to knit a string of their very own.
Frankfurters
Supplies:
One skein Patons Classic Wool color Paprika 00238 (aka hot dog color)
One set of US 7 DPN
Fiberfill
Directions:
Cast on 15 sts over three needles. Knit about 6 rows and tie off at around 3-4 rows from the CO edge using a piece of the same yarn. Knit about 6 inches and stuff with fiberfill then tie off the section and repeat for as long as your heart desires. My string is 10 frankfurters long. After tying off the last of your wieners knit 3-4 rows more before casting off. Create a slight bend in each wiener to create a more realistic look. Enjoy!

i can’t wait to make this, but i will need to use cotton yarn…we have music and movies in the park in the summer, and amy bbq’s hotdogs, wearing hot dog earrings…now she will have this, too…
I love those wieners!!
Seriously, who wouldn’t want to wear this? Thanks for sharing!
I saw a crocheted version of this a couple of years ago on another blog. Nice job on the knit version.
This is wonderful!
I’m going to knit one to hang in the kitchen.
Thanks so much for the pattern.
I’m not quite sure what you mean by “tie off at around 3-4 rows from the CO edge using a piece of the same yarn.”
I mean, I get the rest of it, just not the “tie off” part.
After 6 row you will need to close off that loose end so the stuffing won’t come out. So at about 3-4 rows up from the CO edge you’d use a short length of the yarn cut from the other end of the skein and tie it around the end….it’s kind of like using a twist tie to close the end of a bag of bread.
I hope this makes sense.
Oh, that makes perfect sense, actually.
I was just confused because I wasn’t sure if it was supposed to go through the stitches, or just around the work.
Thanks for your help
