After a super busy summer Baby Tuppy is at last here. With around one ball of wool, some capock or other stuffing and two buttons, this little baby makes a robust and seemless little chap. I use 3mm needles instead of the recomended 4mm, giving a firmer finish.
I make the body first and then use the colour changes there as a guide to where, in the yarns colour changes, to start each limb. I like things symetrical so I split down a whole ball of wool and matched the colour sections exactly for each limb.
He is a little fiddly in places, but his size makes him pretty quick to make.
Hope you enjoy making him as much as i have.
