Here are a few fun facts about the moose:

  1. The bull moose looses its huge antlers every winter and they grow back bigger each spring.
  2. Even at 1500 pounds, the moose is very graceful in the water as it is a natural swimmer.
  3. Moose can hear and smell really well, but they can’t see very well because of the positioning of their eyes on the sides of their heads.
  4. The word “moose” actually means “twig eater” in the Algonquin language!
  5. Moose only live in climates that have snow cover in winter.

Which of these facts is your favorite?

Now you can bring the Woodland Moose and its iconic charm into your home by making this double knit potholder featuring the moose in its natural setting of pine trees and snow drifts. If you’re unfamiliar with double knitting, this small potholder is a great way to learn this knitting technique. Both sides are the same, except with reversed colors. You’ll get the accomplishment of finishing a beautiful project and the confidence of adding a new skill to your knitting basket.
