Cottage Witch
The pattern includes instructions for the Witch & Fox, as well as fairy tale options for Red Riding Hood & her Wolf and GoldiLocks & her Baby Bear.
The pattern is recommended for intermediate level knitters. Most parts of the pattern are knit in the round with a few pieces worked flat.
The Witch and her familiar are both constructed using Aran/medium weight yarn and US 3 (3.25mm) DPNs. The witch measures 6” tall and the fox is 3.5” tall. US 6 straight needles are used for the cloak.
The pattern is 12 pages long and includes photos to assist you.
