Ernie the trouble maker

Meet Ernie, the mischievous troublemaker who lives in your pocket and encourages you to stray from your responsibilities! Whether he's tempting you to knit when you should be working, or persuading you to dive into video games instead of doing your homework, Ernie is a delightful little companion. Standing at just 5 inches tall, Ernie is the perfect size for cuddling and getting into a bit of fun. Want to create your own unique Ernie? Everyone’s Ernie can reflect their individual style! Here are the specific materials used to make my version of this charming character:
- **Sirdar Foxy Badger Yarn**: You will need less than 50g to create Ernie's fluffy body. This fun fur yarn brings a playful texture that makes Ernie come to life! Alternatively, any fun fur or eyelash-type yarn will work beautifully.
- **Mohair Yarn**: Combine black and light brown mohair-type yarn, approximately 25g. If you prefer a different look, feel free to substitute this with any DK or equivalent yarns in colors of your choice.
- **Needles**: Use **size 3mm needles** for knitting the body, head, arms, and legs. For the tail, switch to **size 4mm needles** to give it a nice fluffy appearance.
- **Eyes and Nose**: You’ll need a pair of 5mm plastic toy eyes to give Ernie his quirky expression. For his nose, either use a 5mm black bead or simply embroider it for a personalized touch.
- **Stuffing**: Finally, don’t forget the fiberfill to give Ernie his snug shape! Create your very own Ernie and let him bring a little mischief into your life! This pattern is perfect for knitters of all levels who want to explore their creativity and add a whimsical companion to their collection. Enjoy crafting Ernie today!
