Notes
  • Using up bits of- I had about 30g each of the grey and rust/orange so had to make the body section cream
  • Ran out of grey so used a scrap of different grey yarn for the ears - didn’t have the same problem with the rust/orange
  • 2.5mm for clothes, 2.75mm for body bits
  • the dark blue yarn is BC Garn Bio Balance - seems like a reasonable sub for the now long discontinued Rowan yarn but it is more fragile when making up
  • Really enjoyed these - they’re fun!
