Egyptian Mummy is a terrifying/cute undead creature to knit for Halloween. His arms can be positioned reaching out to catch/cuddle you or pointing down by his sides.

Egyptian Mummy is knit flat and if using Cascade 220 yarn and 3.5mm needles is approximately 32cm (12.5 inches) tall. If you use a different yarn and/or needles the size may differ.

• 3.5mm (US 4) knitting needles.
• A stitch holder.
• Toy stuffing.
• A tapestry needle.
• 10m of Hemline 6mm white cotton tape. If you can’t get Hemline you can use any brand but Hemline tape has a rough, ‘bandagey’ texture.
