Baozi Baby patterns are deceptively simple, but can be hard on yarn, needles, and fingers! I recommend metal DPN needles and a yarn that can resist some tugging. This adorable squirrel is well worth it, and when finished can stand up to most afternoons of playtime.

I design all my BB patterns with Bernat Solids yarn, and depending on the website show this yarn to be worsted or aran weight. People have used DK weight in the past. I also heavily recommend metal knitting needles as wooden ones will only break.
