Finished height 14 inches approx.

Rory was inspired by the Chinese Lunar Year of the Rooster in 2017.

Knitted in 8ply acrylic (I used Spotlight Marvel 8ply) he can be easily washed after a day scratching the dirt.

The tail doesn’t need to be limited to the colours shown, this is a perfect project to use up those little leftover scraps. I’m sure Rory would look magnificent with a multicoloured tail.
