Every year, I look forward to preparing these little creatures as my personal reward for surviving the depths of tax season. This year’s critter is especially close to my heart and happens to be one of my longtime favorites.

To bring this year’s critter to life, you’ll need four colors of DK-weight yarn.

Every year, I look forward to preparing these little creatures for their quiet release-my personal reward for surviving the depths of tax season. This year’s critter is especially close to my heart and happens to be one of my longtime favorites.

To bring this year’s critter to life, you’ll need four colors of Leading Men Fiber Arts Dramaturg or other DK-weight yarn.

C1: 200 yards. Popeye’s Delight (Green)

C2: 50 yards. Gooseberry (Off White)

C3: 25 yards. Bare Necessities (White)

C4: 25 yards. Darkest Hour (Black)

Yardages include extra yardage to ensure that there is enough for your gauge.

Gauge is not important in this pattern. If you choose to use a different yarn/needle combination, please make sure your gauge is tight enough to not allow the stuffing to show through.
