Heywood is a Malayan tapir, always classy in his black and white formal wear! Instant digital pattern download.

Heywood is worked primarily in the round. Because vertical stripes are difficult to achieve in the round, his back and tummy are knit flat then joined together. Suitable for intermediate knitters and above.
