One day my 12 year old son (Peter) was doodling and he was drawing animals like these. I was so impressed that I made them into knitting patterns.

The parts are all interchangable so you can make any animal you like.

Animals included are
hedgehog
dog
lion
tiger
horse
pig
elephant
hamster
rabbit
mouse
bear
beaver

They are knitted on 2 needles with 8 ply (DK) yarn so even a beginner can make them. The bodies are about 9 1/2cm (4”) long and 8cm (3 1/4”) wide.
