This is a pattern for a small squirrel about 7 inches tall when knitted in worsted weight yarn. The pattern also includes instructions for a cute acorn sweater for your squirrel to wear. Gauge and yarn weight don’t really matter as long as you get a dense fabric so that the stuffing doesn’t show through. Thicker yarn will give you a larger squirrel and thinner yarn will yield a smaller squirrel. I’ve included lots of pictures to make the pattern easier to follow. I hope you will have fun knitting this squirrel.
