Taxidermy-Style Giant Rat Head
This pattern is available as a
free Ravelry download
This is a pattern for a rat head wall hanging. It’s inspired by taxidermy projects such as deer head trophies. It’s worked in the round using three colors (one for the eyes, one for the nose, and one for the main fur color). It comes in one size - mine worked out to be about 10 inches long from back of head to nose, but you can swap out hooks/yarn to adjust the size as desired.
You’ll need about 200 yards of the fur color and 10 yards of each of the other colors, as well as stuffing and pipe cleaners for the whiskers. I made a mount for my finished project using a piece of corrugated cardboard that I cut into shape and decorated with a wood grain pattern.
Enjoy :-)
