Product Description
This season you can decorate your festive fir with the cutest creatures among the forest fauna: in this pattern are thewild boar,grey wolf, fallow deer, badger,red fox, otter, hare and the red squirrel.
Each animal measures about 7 cm and is a fast, medium difficult project, with small amounts of yarns. These animals were knitted flat on 1.25 mm double pointed needles (UK 18, US 0000) in Scheepjes Maxi Sweet Treat. All can be done in heavier yarn, on thicker needles and the animals will turn our somewhat larger.
The Forest Fauna makes a splendid set of hanging ornaments (like a crib mobile) or a cute playset and provides a fun way to practise and play around with different knitting techniques, such as making i-cords, intarsia work, short rows and some basic embroidery.
Stitching together the animals, stuffing them and kneading them into shape can be a little fiddly and takes a bit of time and patience, but the end result will be worth it!
Happy holidays! Viv
