Tiger Rug
One of the most popular projects from the Sincerely Louise book - Faux Taxidermy Knits is the tiger rug. The pattern is in the book only as is not sold as a single pattern. You can purchase Faux Taxidermy Knits from www.sincerelylouise.com
In Faux Taxidermy Knits we suggest using Wool and the Gang, a luxury yarn brand that can make the project quite expensive (almost £300). I have put together an alternative which lowers the cost and includes everything you need to make the tiger. You can purchase the materials as a kit, (pattern not included) from www.sincerelylouise.com
Finished size: 127cm x 156cm
Materials you will need to make the tiger rug:
1700g of super chunky yarn in orange
600g of super chunky yarn in cream
700g of super chunky yarn in black
2 x 24mm black toy safety eyes and washers
1 square of yellow and black felt
15mm circular knitting needles
Plastic sewing up needle
This project is aimed at intermediate to advanced knitters, if you can confidently change colour, increase and decrease it is easily made. It knits up in 50+ hours. The pattern is written in chart form for the knitting with written sewing up instructions.
