Hey, I’m Newman, a comfort loving hare of uncommon ingenuity and spirit of adventure. I live at Whistlebare and love poking my nose into all the goings on on the farm.

Newman can either be knitted in Cheviot Marsh Aran, or with Yeavering Bell 4ply and Cheviot Marsh 4ply yarn held together to knit a marled Newman who has Yeavering Bell Aran ears.

Newman is a stylish fellow and all variations of him have a fabulous cable sweater knitted in Cheviot Marsh DK.

Size: Newman is about 55cm tall standing up, and 35cm sitting. His tummy measures a very fine 45cm diameter.

Techniques: Knitting in the round, short row shaping, and cables. Video links provided.
