Rolling into your feed with something new! Meet my Armadillo. He’s tough on the outside, squishy on the inside, and 100% ready for your hook.

The pattern is written in English and uses U.S terminology.
A basic knowledge of stitches is advised but instructions for special stitches are included.

You can easily substitute the yarn in the pattern for another. If changing ply simply adjust your hook size accordingly. This will however affect the finished size.

I recommend using a standard yarn for this pattern to allow for the stitch definition / appearance of scales on the armadillo’s back – this definition and texture does not appear if using plush / chenille type yarns.
