Antoine the Aardvark
This pattern is
available for free.
Antoine is a knitted and felted aardvark. He’s about 23 inches/58 cm long when completed, or about half the size of an actual aardvark – a nocturnal burrowing animal from Africa that lives almost exclusively on ants and termites. Its name means “earth pig” which is a pretty accurate description.
I used one skein of Patons Classic Wool in Natural Mix but feel free to make him any color you like!
Antoine requires familiarity with stockinette, wrap-and-turn short rows, and increasing and decreasing, and is fairly approachable. Note that you do need to keep careful track of your rows. The photos will guide you with construction. Some experience with soft toy construction is helpful.
