It is fall and outside squirrels are scurrying about prepping for winter! Just like their real life counterparts, Squirrel Wobblers have showy tails, tiny paws and curious whiskers. A quick project, each wobbler can be made with less than single skein of yarn. And like all wobblers, if you push one over, it will wobble back up (see last photo)!

MATERIALS:

Needles: Size US 10.5 circular needles, Size US 10.5 double pointed needles (or size to meet gauge) to work with 2 strands of worsted weight yarn in the round

Size US 7 double pointed needles to work with 1 strand of worsted weight yarn

Size US 3 needles to work back and forth on your needles with fingering weight yarn

Notions: Scissors, tapestry needle, stitch markers, fiberfill, black embroidery thread or yarn, white beading thread (for whiskers), wire brush or comb, washers (see information on Internal Weight)

Internal Weight:

Large Wobbler: 1.5 inch diameter steel washers, weighing a total of 4 oz. Weigh washers to make sure you have the correct weight.

Small Wobbler: 1.5 inch diameter steel washers, weighing a total 3 oz

You can order these washers from Lowes (4 washers for the Large Wobbler and 3 washers for the Small Wobbler):
