Brax the Brachiosaurus is suitable for an intermediate level knitter, and when complete produces a toy approx. 8 inches tall and 13 inches long, that can be filled/stuffed as firm or soft as you prefer.

This pattern is suitable for experienced intermediate knitting ability, assuming an understanding of basic stitches and common knitting terms. This pattern will require the following skills;
knit, purl, cast off in middle of row, knit front and back increase, knit two together decrease and purl two together decrease. There is also an optional alternative pattern to create a striped body using intarsia colour work.
