Barrold loves rummaging around in the undergrowth looking for food (worms are his favourite). He's rarely spotted in the daytime but comes out after dark, usually getting up to mischief with his friend, Fraser the fox.

The pattern is clear to follow with detailed instructions and lots of pictures for step by step making and assembly. There are also picture instructions for colour change, back loop only and invisible finish.

I've made Barrold using Aran/worsted weight yarn and a 4mm (G) crochet hook. He sits just under 8 inches tall.

The following stitches/techniques are used in this pattern: slip stitch, magic ring, single crochet, double crochet, increase, decrease (sc2tog), colour change, back loop only, invisible finish

(This pattern is for personal use only, not to be resold or rewritten in any way. I am happy for you to sell the finished toy, but please credit the design to me.)
