Bayou is a delightfully floppy, flat-style frog who loves to slouch, flop, and lounge around. Inspired by the simple charm of a two-piece fabric plush, this pattern uses clever knitting techniques to create a seamless, flat silhouette with plenty of personality. Knitted tightly on smaller needles to ensure a bean-proof fabric, Bayou makes the perfect desk companion, pocket friend, or quick gift. Don’t forget to knit his friends, Cayenne and Mojito, as well!

Pattern has been professionally tech edited and test knit to reduce the potential for error.
