Happy May!
This month’s mini tier pattern is Forky from Toy Story.
Forky’s overall design is quite simple, so I tried my hardest to pay close attention to the details.
There is not much opportunity for mixed media, but I did manage to squeeze in some googly eyes and a felt rainbow decal sticker.
The most tedious part of this project was the arms – it was a whopping 168 rows! Fortunately, there are only 6 stitches in each row. Although very repetitive it’s worth it once you get to the end and start shaping the hands.
Due to the simple design there is not much more to say about this project, so you can dive right in.
Forky measures approximately 7 inches / 18cm tall.
