Notes

A phenomenal design.
Barbara Prime has many incredible designs.
I’ve made several of her pieces before.

Made each section separately and finished open ends with flannel. Secured the magnets in the fabric so the segments separate.

Safety Caution:
Care must be used when using magnets.
They must be secured.

Not sure how much yarn I used.

Everybody was crazy about Olaf with separating sections and magnets, except the grandchild whom it was for. Apparently he doesn’t like yarn toys of commercial characters, only those that look like real animals of any kind. So noted. He had asked for yarn King Julien, so we’ll see how that one goes. Haven’t made it, yet.
