You can 'bred' (or make) your very own miniature Puffskein right now!
Patch the Pygmy Puff
Skill Level: Advanced Beginner/Intermediate
Measurements: 4 inches tall/ 4.5 inches wide (approx.)
Gauge : is not critical for this project, however your finished size may vary slightly, depending on the yarn you use as well as your tension.
Yardage : Main Color: less than 5oz/236yds, Accent Colors: less than 7oz/364yds
General Notes:
- This pattern is worked in continuous rounds unless otherwise noted.
- This pattern utilizes standard US Crochet Terms.
- Any changes in materials to this pattern, (hook size/yarn weight) will not produce the measurements above.
This pattern utilizes Loop Stitches (LpSt) to create a fuzzy look. You can find a tutorial on how to make Loop Stitches here: AA: Beyond Basic Stitches
- Recommended that you wait until near the final step before cutting loops and brushing out yarn to create the finished look. Save Ears and Eyes for last, to avoid accidentally 'brushing' them and fuzzing them up.
