Product Details

Since I have a real liking for nature’s most peculiar, weird, mysterious or misunderstood underdogs I decided to design some of them for anyone who wants to get to know these natural weirdo’s a little better!

The capybara is the largest rodent in the world and closely related to the guinea pig. If you decide to keep a capybara as a pet, you’ll no longer need a lawn mower: they eat up to 3 kilograms of grass a day and will still nibble on your lawn as a snack!

This capybara (16 cm) was knitted on 2.25 mm double pointed needles (UK 13, US 1). In Rowan Felted Tweed (175) cinnamon and (157) camel; the tweed gives the capybara a rugged look. The legs were made with Lana Grossa Alpaca Peru 200 (211) dark brown and pipe cleaners.

This project is an easy to medium knit, it requires knitting in the round and some transferring of stitches, and knitting short rows.
