Blarney The Leprechaun

If you catch a leprechaun they will grant you three wishes, perhaps that will happen if you knit one too? Designed by Amanda Berry @fluffandfuzz, the leprechaun is knitted in acrylic DK yarns on single pointed needles (not in the round). A crochet hook is used to crochet single chains for the clover stalk and hat buckle, and the beard incorporates knitted bobbles (instructions how to knit a bobble are in the pattern). For confident beginners and above, other techniques used include casting on and off, knits, purls, increases and decreases, and seaming to finish.
