Charles Darwin. Father of evolution, naturalist, geologist and wearer of a magnificent beard. Let’s make our own!

Worked largely in the round with jacket, hair and beard worked flat, this mini Darwin works up quickly in an evening or two. Standing at 7 inches tall and economical with yarn (one skein of each is plenty), mini Charles Darwin is the perfect quick project for the biologist, naturalist, or geologist nut in your life.
