Nature programmes have a lot to answer for.

These little creatures are beautiful as they move through the water yet so clumsy on land.

The webbed feet created a unique challenge which really caught my imagination.

Because it was such an interesting solution I have included a large pictorial element in this pattern to help. Although it looks as though it will be complicated it is really simple.

To recreate these toys in aran use a 4mm hook and increase wool amount by 60%. In chunky use a 5mm hook and increase wool amount by 200%.

This pattern is my original pattern.
