Product Description
The zebra isn’t hard if you’re comfortable switching between black and white every other row. The mane and tail can be done in fringe stitch or crochet chain loops. If you're feeling especially creative, you can knit the body, head, and legs all in white and then manually add the stripes using duplicate stitch or Swiss darning. This gives the stripes a more organic, natural look, but it does take a bit more time.
