With his cheeky grin, Henry makes a perfect desk-ornament for the clean-freak in your life. You could fill him with pebbles to turn him into a paperweight.

Size: 5cm (2in) tall

You will need:

• Wool in red, black and grey, max 15g each. I used Double Knit (8-6 ply, “light worsted”.) Tension: 10cm x 10cm square is 24 stitches across and 32 rows.
• Knitting needles. I used UK size 11 (3.0mm, US size 2.5)
• Tapestry needle
• Stuffing
• Plastic eyes
• Four black buttons

Stitches:
k2tog – knit two stitches together
kfb – knit into the front and back of your stitch

Not recommended near small children since the eyes and wheels could be pulled off and become a choking hazard.
