Frontline Heroes are knit in the round, using Magic Loop (or double pointed needles). The shoes, body/base/legs, arms and head are all knit on as you work along. There are 6 Heroes: Health Care Worker, Firefighter, Mail Carrier, Police Officer, Grocer and Delivery Person. Their clothes are not removable. The Heroes stand freely, approx. 8” tall (without hats) and are created using #3-light wt. (DK wt.) yarn. These Heroes are a tribute to those working on the frontline during Covid-19.
