Fire Tiger is a project imagined by my youngest son. He came to me one day with a drawing of his idea and a big grin on his face, certain that I could magic his wonderful idea into reality. Since these kinds of knitting projects are my absolute favorite, I jumped on it. The construction is simple and highly customizable. In fact, my son already has plans for a fleet of elemental tigers to join his new friend! I hope that you’ll enjoy making your own tiger for someone special.
