Materials
Scrap of dk – worsted weight cotton, or other yarn
Needles to suit. You will need to knit quite tightly to get the knitting to curl so choose a size that will create a firm fabric.
1 pair tiny googly eyes or puffy fabric paint
Pattern
Cast on 80 – 100 sts (sample uses 80sts and worsted weight yarn)
