Milton the Mole

Milton the Mole is an adorable knitted character that features a charming pair of spectacles, designed to help this little creature see the world clearly. This delightful mole is primarily crafted using a stockinette stitch technique, incorporating various increases and decreases for shaping, as well as knitted bobbles for the toes, adding a playful touch to its design. The spectacles, made from jewellery wire, are a fun detail; however, please note that due to the sharp ends of the wire, it is recommended to avoid adding spectacles if Milton is intended as a toy for a baby or younger child, ensuring safety first.
