Notes

Eyes a bit wonky but an endearing little creature.

Stuck with colour change method from Jamaal the okapi pattern throughout. Magic loops to start all pieces. Yarn used mostly accurate but dark green/purple/blue/grey all estimates.

Subbing grey for brown as not sure I have enough brown.
Update at end: I would’ve definitely had enough brown, oh well.

Rattle in tummy = Kinder egg capsule with rice inside. Hoping it’ll survive the washing machine if needed.

Head: 2 extra white rounds. Do at least 2 more if making this pattern again in the future.
Horns: minus 3 rounds.
Neck: 4 extra rounds. Turquoise then purple.
