Delta the Diplocaulus
This pattern is
available for free.
I’ve always preferred designing the unusual, unloved or just, well, strange. (Teddy bears and bunnies never really did it for me). Diplocaulus was a prehistoric amphibian with a wacky boomerang shaped head. Theories for this appendage are many: possibly it served as a hydrofoil for efficient swimming, enabled it to burrow into the bottom to feed or simply made it harder to be eaten.
Delta is knitted and felted, and using the wool and needles in the pattern, will measure about 21 inches long.
If made for a child, Delta should be a room decoration only, until age 3 or past the ‘everything in the mouth’ stage.
