This pattern is written for experienced knitters and use s many different techniques. Most of the pattern is knitted without seams and only the legs are sewn onto the body. It is not a ‘quick knit’ but the finished product is well worth the time and effort that goes into it.Techniques needed are wrap and turn (w&t), knitted cast-on, Kitchener st closure, picking up edge stitches, knitting between picked up sts to create a double layer and several different increase techniques.This pattern uses about 85g of Noro Kureyon sock yarn and If you use this yarn you will obtain a crocodile about 24” (60 cm) long, but you can use any weight yarn so long as you choose needles to give a gauge that is tight enough so that the stuffing does not show through the knitting. You will need a couple of yards of yarn in different colors for the eyes and teeth.You will need double point needles and 2 circular needles.The body is stabilized with chenille sticks and filled with polyester fill.If you would like to purchase a finished item please contact me and I will knit one for you.
