4 ply held together with kids silk. As I was knitting the body and seeing wabbits fully formed head made me smile. Towards the end for seeming the body i felt confused, stitch markers matching. So I thread some contrast yarn and did a little loose stitch connecting each marker match. reading the pattern out loud in doing so, This gave me direction to seam . and could then guide the two pieces together cutting the contrast yarn as soon as that part was mattress stitched. one side at a time. WOL I did a few weeks ago. Now thats two from the winnie the pooh patterns done. claire Garland is genius. But its best to do these patterns without distractions
