Fluffy Bunny, Snuffles Squirrel and Squeaker Mouse are quick to knit little toys, and make super projects for using up ends of yarn balls to save waste. The squirrel’s tail is knitted in a fleecy bouclé yarn to make it extra fluffy.

Designed by Amanda Berry @fluffandfuzz, the toys are knitted in DK yarns. Most pieces are worked flat (back and forth) on a pair of straight single pointed knitting needles, not in the round. The mouse’s tail is i-cord worked on the two DPNs, and the braces (suspenders) are single crochet chains worked on a crochet hook.

A pair each of 3.75mm single pointed knitting needles and DPNs (US 5)
