I didn’t have any sport weight yarn in any colors I wanted to use for this, so I used some worsted weight yarn and an E hook (pattern called for a C hook).
The pattern states this guy should be 16.5 inches long. Because I used thicker yarn and a larger hook, he’s 27 inches long!
I bought this book a while back. You can buy the individual patterns, but it’s way cheaper to buy the book if you like more than one or two of the patterns.
It feels wrong that I can only heart this once. I love it so much. I think it is absolutely incredible and makes me wish that yarn didn’t hate me so much.
It does have pipe cleaner in the neck, but for the size, it’s not strong enough. The pattern calls for twisting two pipe cleaners together, fold them in half, twist together a little more, put into neck and stuff around the pipe cleaner. I did that, but added another two pipe cleaners I attached to the first two. A smaller toy would probably work better with the pipe cleaner. This larger one needed a thicker wire.
