{"product_id":"newt-knitting-pattern-by-jackie-jeffery","title":"Newt","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis pattern is to make a knitted decorative or toy newt, life sized, using stocking stitch and moss (seed) stitch. The newt in the pattern is a male great crested newt in spring when they grow a large crest to attract a mate. The crest shrinks later in the summer and is reabsorbed into the body. They have a very shiny skin when wet so using a mercerized cotton will make a good reproduction of this. Their skin is also very warty which is represented by the moss stitch body. The newt is made up of 8 pieces, four body pieces and four limbs, knitted on straight needles and seamed together. Two bobbles are made for the eyes and the limbs are partly made from i-cord. Very little yarn is required so you could use leftovers from other projects. The white tail stripe and black belly spots of a great crested newt are reproduced either by embroidery or attaching felt pieces. You will not need felt if you are embroidering all the features on.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Independent Designer","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56737882505594,"sku":"UPID127167","price":3.36,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0931\/3219\/4170\/files\/b587e1f686ed14f4d5475cab623b0efb46a0738f_UPID127167_172864558616291.jpg?v=1775764030","url":"https:\/\/www.lovecrafts.com\/en-us\/products\/newt-knitting-pattern-by-jackie-jeffery","provider":"LoveCrafts","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
