Pylsa
From € 5,34
Pylsa is the hottest dog in town! This charming little sausage dog is knitted seamlessly in the round from tail to snout. When it´s cold outside, it will happily wear its cosy lopi sweater or a cute bandana and will stole all the hearts! It loves a good scratch on the belly and is often seen visiting the Bæjarins Beztu Pylsur (Best sausages in town) hot dog stand in Reykjavík, made famous when Bill Clinton visited Iceland in 2004 and had a hot dog. Our sausages (pylsur, pylsa in singular) also have mutton in them and taste a bit different!
Yarn suggested: Léttlopi
