Product Details
The platypus is one of the weirdest creatures in the world. It has a duck-like bill, but also a beaver-like tail. It swims underwater, but it’s covered in fur. It lays eggs but is a mammal. It really is a mash up of an assortment of animals, all rolled into one cute and captivating critter! This knitted platypus is multifunctional too: it is both a cuddly toy and a comfy cosy, combined in one adorable animal, guaranteed to keep you company and keep you warm during the gloomy and glacial winter times!
This 53 centimeter-platypus was an easy knit with some knitting in the round and intarsia color work., made with mottled yarns to add to the life-likeness of the platypus’ fur and features, on 4 mm single pointed needles size (US 6, UK 8). But it can be made in any gauge yarn! It can be used for both a 1- and 2-liter hot water bottle. Although it might be a little tight at the first use it will fit snugly after a few applications.
Have a cosy winter! Viv
