Barksy is a quirky animal mashup that’s part bee, part dog.

Made with bulky yarn in yellow, brown, black, white, pink, plus small accent details in DK yarn, this project works up to approximately 9 inches (23 cm) tall.

This intermediate-friendly pattern requires knowledge of basic stitches and colour changes. It’s written in US terms and includes clear, photos to guide you through.

For best results and proper proportions, use the same yarn weight throughout the pattern, except where accent details are noted.
