No cranky faces for this guy! He’s happy to clack along with the mariachi band at any festive occasion.

The crab is knit in the round on US size 3 double pointed needles. The pattern works up quickly using basic increases and decreases, as well as short rows, for shaping. The example was knit with sport weight cotton yarn, and measures approximately 7 inches from claw tip to claw tip. Stitch descriptions and photos are included.
