Do you have high hopes? This little ant does… and he just needs you to knit him up so that you can move that rubber tree plant together! You can knit your ant in little or very little, and with or without his very own baseball jersey. If you are a fan of the Philadelphia Phillies you will understand this completely, but just in case you are not (shame on you!) the pattern includes directions for a naked ant too. ;)

for the little ant (approx 7x6x4 inches), you will need:
US size 6 (4.5mm) double-pointed needles
2 15mm Safety Eyes
Fiber Fill
Yarn Needle
Worsted (medium weight, 10 ply, 9 wpi) yarn of your choice in black for plain ant, or in three colors for baseball ant: black, white and red

for the very little ant (approx 5x4x3 inches) you will need:
US size 2 (2.75mm) double-pointed needles
2 9mm Safety Eyes
Fiber Fill
Yarn Needle
Fingering (super fine weight, 4 ply, 14 wpi) yarn of your choice in black for plain ant, or in three colors for baseball ant: black, white and red
