Rocco Raccoon is dressed up and ready to go on an adventure! This is a quick project that uses small amounts of yarn - mix different fibre types to add texture. The sweater is made separately and has some raglan-style shaping along the yoke.

When made with DK weight yarn (Sample is made in Scheepjes Stone Washed and Drops Safran) and 3.5mm+2.5mm hook the finished Raccoon will measure about 15cm/6in tall.
