You need 1.25 ounces of green, 1 ounce yellow, .25 ounce of red. Worsted weight. The alligator is garter stitch, knit flat, on the top piece. Stockinette, knit flat, for the belly. And red, knit flat, for the mouth.

I tried, in the old knitlist days, to secure permission from McCall’s successor company to release the pattern to the knitlist. Permission was refused. This pattern is INCREDIBLY cute and so easy to succeed with.
