This pattern features an adorable little squirrel holding his prized nut, ready to bring a touch of forest magic to your knitting! This motif looks great in a cozy blanket, a dishcloth, or as a thoughtful gift. The textured squirrel motif is framed by a garter stitch border.

Add a bead as the squirrel’s eye to give him extra unique personality, or keep it simple, it’s up to you! It’s perfect as a gift or for your own collection! This pattern is a fun and satisfying project for knitters of all levels.
