Notes

Made for a friend who loves that Geico commercial with the camel.

Since the yarn is bulky, I upped the needle size to 6..which created a very large camel.

Also, I changed the feet a bit. I knitted the leg from the pattern, then instead of casting off, made the feet:

Round 23: (k2, k2tog) around (18 sts)
Round 24: knit
Round 25: (k1, k2tog) around (27 sts)
Round 26: knit
Round 27: (k2, k2tog) around (36 sts)
Round 28-32: knit
Round 33: (k2tog) around (18 sts)
Round 34: knit
Round 35: (k1, k2tog) around (12 sts)
Round 36: (k2tog) around (6 sts)

(From pattern) Break yarn, leave 12 inch tail and threat tail onto a blunt needle. Pass the needle through the remaining 6 stitches and pull tight. Use this yarn to shape the toes. Insert the needle in the center on the opposite side of your last round, and pull tight. Repeat twice, weave in end.

Little bit less sewing at the end :)
