Jurgen the Slug

Introducing your new favorite fiber friend: Jürgen the super-sized (and super-suave) slug! This delightful, broccoli-bothering mammoth mollusc measures an impressive 27cm/10¾in in height and is lovingly knitted flat using a circular needle. Despite Jürgen’s generous size, you'll find that simple shaping techniques make it incredibly easy to keep track of your progress throughout the pattern. Plus, these techniques ensure that your huggable slug's fabulous frill curls up all by itself, creating an adorable design that is sure to impress. Beet(root) that! All components of Jürgen are knitted flat and seamed together afterwards, making it a good idea to seam and stuff the pieces as you go along for the best results. Alternatively, if you prefer a more seamless approach, every piece except for the base and the bow tie can be knitted in the round, allowing for versatility in your crafting. You’ll be delighted to know that this knitting pattern has been meticulously reviewed by a professional technical editor, guaranteeing that it’s super easy to follow and perfect for knitters of all skill levels, from beginners to experienced crafters! If you're more inclined to crochet, don’t worry! You can also whip up your version of this fun slug.
