One my post the other day about Miss E's love of pink you may have spotted this little guy.
His name is Milo Armadillo and I knitted him as a gift last Christmas for Miss E after she (and I) fell in love with this book.
The pattern for him is actually inside the book. I used self striping yarn for his shell as I couldn't face the hundreds of ends individual stripes would create, and I left out the embroidery as I had left him a bit late to make.
The book is lovely, all about a little girl who wants a pink fluffy rabbit for her birthday. No one can find her one so her Gran decides to knit one but he doesn't turn out quite as planned. The illustrations are a mix of drawing and collage with knitting featuring a lot!!
Its a really lovely story and Miss E loves it as much as I do!
Here is my

The pattern is available for free on the
Walker Books website.
