Trilobite

Having published my pattern for an ammonite recently, I now have a second fossil pattern - trilobite.

The trilobite has two flat pieces for the body, and two more pieces for the top section (not sure if I should call this a head). Apparently there were a great many different types of trilobites. I almost sewed on beads as eyes, but as he is meant to be a fossil and not a living trilobite, decided against this. This is a great little make for using up those oddments of wool that every knitter ends up with. Each trilobite takes roughly 4g of wool.

For my photos I have borrowed my son's fossil trilobite, and while sorting through his books, found a really apt one to use as a backdrop in some of the photos.
