Merlin the Gargoyle lives on the rooftops. He’s an avid bird watcher and has made friends with many of the local pigeons. His favourite day is Sunday, when his dad makes him rock cakes and he spends the night in the belfry listening to the bats tell ghost stories.

Merlin is a good cuddle size, he measures approximately 7-8 inches sitting in a DK weight yarn. However, he can be made from any weight yarn and appropriate hook for different sizes. This is not a pattern for beginners, but it is an easy pattern to follow with plenty of photos, and if you run in to any problems you will always be welcome to contact me for any extra help.
