The Koala’s closest living relative, wombats are endemic to (only found in) Australia and are among the largest burrowing mammals in the world.
Knit yourself a wombat.
I try to make the knit animals look as realistic as possible, while still being easy to knit. These animals are safe for children of all ages.

Tension/ Gauge: this is not important for this project
All you need to remember is to use needles about 2 sizes smaller than suggested for the yarn you are using.
This ensures a tight fabric.
