My very first Umbrella Fella made for my Stitch London book.

I’m really proud of this idea because I haven’t seen it done before. The idea is to use them to customise your umbrella. With the Drips there is a circle of blinky little raindrops swinging around you.

Knitting eight of them is a bit fiddly but so worth it. And they all turn out with different expressions.

I wore my Drip as a necklace for quite some time when I first made them. He liked to get out and see the sights.
