Celebrate the birth of our country with a good, old fashioned cuppa. The body of Uncle Sam is worked flat and then joined to shape the top and head. A little bit of stuffing helps him hold his shape and some cardboard rolled up holds his hat upright. You will use basic intarsia for the stripes on the body, stranded knitting is used to form the stars. Suitable for an advanced beginner or intermediate knitter.
