My friends and I hopped on the Lethal Company craze and cannot stop playing! That game is nonstop laughs and after seeing the mod where the hoarding bugs yell “Yippee”, I knew I had to make one. This little item thief stands 12 inches high (from base to tip of his antenna) and 12 inches wide (toe to toe).

NOTES
Majority of this pattern is knit double stranded, holding black and green together to give the Hoarding Bug a marble effect. The legs are also knit double stranded in solid black using the i-cord technique. The eyes and antenna are knit single stranded.
There is a description on the final page of how to knit in i-cord.
