Inspired by Jan Fearnley’s “Little Robin Red Vest”
To pair with my Little Robin Vest

Pieces are complete! Played some intense yarn chicken throughout the body piece, done last, hoping to not run out of the dark brown yarn. The bit left in the photo is literally all that was left! I had a backup plan, but am really glad I didn’t need it.
Time for assembly, and then he needs his vest!

All pieces are assembled, and working on the feet now (which I’d skipped). The pattern calls for just a chain for the legs and feet, but I think it needs to be a little more substantial to go with the rest of the figurine. I did some poking around online, and I’m trying out Romanian Cord. It’s pretty cool! I hope it works out.

Vest is done and the ends woven in!! Also, the feet worked out perfectly, and even keep him from tipping over now. Quite glad I didn’t settle for a simple chain.
This little guy turned out SO cute. I’m really thrilled with the result.
Total time: 23 hrs, 51 min
