Frodo Baggins
Knit you very own mini Hobbit look alike, He would look right at home in The Shire! 
Frodo stands an impressive 15 inches/38cm high. He has lovely, large hairy feet and his waistcoat, trousers, jacket and cloak with functional hood are all removable .His arms and legs are also poseable.
He is knitted in DK/ 8ply/11wpi / yarns APART from the hair which is Boa/eyelash yarn. 
He is knitted flat using 3mm and 3.75mm needles.
