Suitable for 23 cm IKEA rat (Gåsig RÅTTA).

Use sport or fingering weight leftover yarn in contrasting colours. I used about 20 grams of Kauni 8/2 wool yarn.

The pattern has short rows, but you can skip those if you don’t feel like it.

The sleeves are knit like thumbs on mittens (but without gusset). You can use this video (start at 7:26) as a reference but you can also use your own favourite method for thumbs.

The pattern assumes that you are using five double pointed knitting needles, but you can use four, or use magic loop if that’s your jam.

The rat will not care about any of these changes, I promise. I asked him specifically and he said so.

Disclaimer: Please note that I wrote down the pattern in careless whimsy and it has not been test knit. If you find any errors, please let me know via Raverly.

ERRATA:
First version of the pattern has a mistake on R34: It should be k19, k2tog instead of k18, k2tog.
