The toy is knitted in the round and that is why the pattern is recommended for Advanced Beginner Knitters.
The finished toy is approximately 7 inches (18 cm) tall.

Materials needed

• 4 double-pointed needles size US 2 (3 mm).
• 100 gr Brown, dark brown and cream colored yarn. I used Alize Angora Gold /10% mohair, 10% wool, 80% akrylic; 100 gr – 550 mt./ 3 theads held together. Yarn weight (3 threads) - Aran
• Toy stuffing
• Yarn needle
• Stitch marker
• Black beads for eyes (4 mm)
• Black plastic nose ( 7 mm)

All rows are worked in the round, this helps avoid ugly seams.
