ASHLEY RAO HANDKNITS

An adorable intarsia alligator lounges against a crisp striped background in this fun colorwork project.  Short row bobble “scales” worked from snout to tail add texture and depth to the garter stitch fabric, worked flat on circ needles.  Giant squashy eyeballs are worked separately (in the round on dpns) and sewn on with button pupils to finish.
