Notes

Knit this guy in fingering to go with “Bitty Bea”. Even though both yarns are listed as fingering/sock they are of a differing size, the Patons being somewhat heavier. They blocked well and the difference became almost unnoticeable. As is usual my pictures leave something to be desired, but his legs really are the same length!

Used hand painted 10.5 mm from 6060 eyes.

Knit mouth through the back loop with the felt tooth in the seam. Sewed along edge to give his mouth a little more definition and shape. Used SSK as well as K2tog for decreases as I prefer the balance it affords. I used a modified “ Bea’s bottom” for this little guy. I like the way it finishes and the two look more like a pair. Another, nice Rebecca Danger design.
