Your funky segmented friend, this is an ideal first knit for kids or beginners. Make one, make lots in a range of yarns and weights, toy featured uses chunky yarn for small hands to hold easily.

All Blue’s Creatures are designed to be easy to knit with basic skills (knit, purl, simple decreases and increases) and then some clever folding and stitching to get the finished creature.

Most non-textured yarns work well, just ensure you drop down a size from the one recommended on the ball band for a firmer fabric.
