Marvin loves chilling! His favorite pasttime is sitting with his human friend on the sofa, watching documentaries (Africa!), sports (rugby!) and munching sweets. But he can be a real bullhead as well, ready for tearing down any wall that stands in his way! He is easily agitated, especially when he comes across humans who mistreat animals. Oh, how he would love to take them on his horn!

More information:
Choose any yarn you like or have left over – Marvin will be bigger or smaller depending on the yarn. Sock yarn will be fine, but I prefer the softer merino yarn. If you knit Marvin for a child, make sure the yarn is robust, washable and doesn’t pill too much. With the original yarn, Marvin measures approximateley 28 cm = 11 inches sitting.

The pattern will lead you step-by-step through the knitting and sewing, including loads of detail photos and charts. Additionally, you’ll find instructions for the more elaborate techniques used. PLEASE MIND: The animal is knitted in the ROUND, there is no instruction for flat knitting!

Happy knitting!
Yours Steffi
