Filthy Animal is worked in the normal overlay mosaic row-by-row technique.

This wall hanging is free to download as a wee Christmas present to all my lovely customers. I’ve always loved adding a little holiday humour to my décor, and this quote from one of my all-time favourite Christmas films never fails to make me smile. So of course, I had to turn it into a festive crochet wall-hanging! (or cushion cover)

If you’re downloading this pattern, I’m guessing you know exactly which movie this line comes from.

The pattern PDF has two easy-to-read charts and corresponding written instructions for both left and right-handers.

Two PDFs are available - one using US terms and one using UK terms.
