Fiona
Meet Fiona, the adorable knitted fly that will bring a touch of whimsy to your collection! This charming toy is expertly crafted by knitting in the round from its tail to its head, creating a seamless look that enhances its delightful appearance. The legs are thoughtfully shaped using the I-cord technique, while the wings can be knitted separately for added creativity or you can choose to pick up stitches directly on the body for a quicker assembly and a smooth finish. Additionally, if you’re feeling adventurous, you can create a buzzing bumblebee version by utilizing a playful combination of black and yellow yarns!
