zOomiger is really a pussy cat. He wears a tiger outfit and a fake tail so that he can pretend to be a tiger, but he is given away by his meow. Wearing the tiger outfit didn’t boost his self-esteem as he is still extremely shy and timid. He has a fear of mice, when he sees one, his eyes bloat up like balloons.

Standing doll measures about 26-28 cm.

This pattern has 5 pages of photos, and written instructions so you can do it quickly.

Materials:

  1. 8 ply weight wool or acrylic. (I have used Thorobred 8ply 100% acrylic for MC and used about half a ball.) Yarn in light brown for MC, dark brown for CC1, white for CC2 and scrap yarn black for CC3.
  2. 3.25mm 40cm circular needles/ 3.25 DPN or size needed to obtain gauge.

  4. Buttons / plastic safety eyes/ scrap yarn for eyes
  5. Stitch marker
  6. Polyester stuffing
  7. Yarn needle

If you use thicker yarn and bigger size of needles you get a bigger toy.
