Rodney spends his days searching the fields for tasty crops and patches of lush grass - he gets very excited if he finds a dandelion! Rainy days he spends indoors, exploring the warren underneath, visiting his 8004 brothers and sisters in their burrows along the way. He sits 11.5 inches tall (when made with the recommended materials).
The 11 page pattern is intermediate skill level and uses UK terminology – if you would prefer US terminology, please message me. It 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 and making your own pom pom.
The following stitches/techniques are used in this pattern: slip stitch, magic ring, double crochet, half treble, increase, decrease (dc2tog), colour change
Recommended Materials:
- Yarn: I have made Rodney using Scheepjes Stone Washed XL (Aran/worsted weight yarn) - colour and weight details in pattern
- Hook: 4mm (G) crochet hook
- Stuffing: I use polyester filling
- Safety eyes: I have used 15mm plastic safety eyes, but you can embroider the eyes on if you prefer
- Yarn needle
- Pins
- (A stitch marker and row counter are useful)
- I have included instructions for you to make your own pom pom for the tail, but use a ready-made pom pom if you'd rather
