Carboniferous giant crawlies 305-299mya - Meganeura a dragonfly relative with a 28 inch wingspan, and Pulmonoscorpius, a giant scorpion growing up to 28 inches long. Neither of which you’d want stomping round your bedroom!

You will need two skeins of yarn in contrasting colours, my square weighs c.55 grams.

The pattern is 47sts by 58 rows done in double knitting, and comes out at 10 inches square on 4mm needles.

You could use thicker yarn and larger needles for a larger square if you wish.
