I love knitting needles as a tool that can be used to create the most intricate details of a toy. Pikachu has a tail. It resembles lightning. This means there are clear bends. I'll tell you how I knitted it. Cast on 5 sts using brown yarn. Start knitting using garter stitch. 1: k2tog, k2, inc 2: inc, k2, k2tog 3: k2tog, k2, inc 4: inc, k4 (6) 5: inc, k3, k2tog 6: k2tog, k3, inc 7: inc, k3, k2tog 8: k5, inc Change into yellow yarn. 9: k2tog, k4, inc 10: inc, k4, k2tog 11: k2tog, k4, inc 12: inc, k6 13: inc, k5, k2tog 14: k2tog, k5, inc 15: inc, k5, k2tog 16: k2tog, k5, inc 17-25: garter stitch Bind off the stitches.
