PATTERN INFORMATION
Knit a wild tiger sweater and support WWW-Denmark’s work to save the threatened tiger.

You will be working the sweater from the bottom-up, knitting with 2 strands of yarn held together. The tiger is worked using intarsia and finally the details are embroidered onto the finished garment. You will find two charts illustrating this.

If you want, the chart can also be used to embroider a tiger onto one of your old sweaters, thereby giving it new life.
