THE STASH GOBBLERS #01

With Panda Xiao-Xiao I start the new pattern series "The Stash Gobblers". All the patterns will be made of leftover yarns, sometimes a bit more, sometimes just bits and pieces. Some will be designed for real beginners, some will be more challenging – but always small enough to knit or crochet up quickly.

Xiao-Xiao means "Small-Small" in Chinese, and small he ist: He weighs only 21 g including stuffing! He is an easy knit, suitable for beginners who are not afraid to knit with double pointed needles in the round.

You should know basic knitting techniques.
The following techniques are explained in full detail:

• increases and decreases
• mattress stitch
• feston stitch (buttonhole stitch)

Have fun knitting!
Yours Steffi from cats&hats
