Knit Simple Winter 2012 #33, #34, and #35

Design by Amy Bahrt

I-cord tusks and a broad intarsia mustache are just two of the adorable features that in form Bahrt’s chummy walrus combo. The walrus becomes himself when you add details like chain-stitch embroidery along the color-change row. A stuffed bobble nose and button eyes increase the merriment.
