Zeke, baby zebra

Meet Zeke, the adorable baby zebra, thoughtfully designed for knitters of all levels. This delightful toy is expertly knitted in the round, ensuring a seamless and polished finish for every aspect of the zebra. The legs, head, ears, and tail are crafted separately for ease and precision, then expertly sewn onto the zebra’s body. Standing proudly on its own, Zeke sometimes topples over, just like a playful baby, adding to its charm and personality.

**Finished Toy Size:** Zeke measures approximately 8.5 inches (21.5 cm) tall when sitting and an impressive 12.5 inches (32 cm) when standing, making it the perfect cuddly companion for kids and adults alike.

**Suggested Yarn:**
For this project, we recommend using Cascade 220 Superwash, a high-quality yarn made from 100% Superwash Wool. Each 100g skein contains about 220 yards (200 meters) of yarn, ensuring you have plenty of material for your crafting needs. You will need approximately 100 - 150 yards (91 - 137 meters) of each color: Nr. 900 Charcoal (CC) and Nr. 871 White (MC). Additionally, a small amount of black yarn (about 5 yards / 4.5 meters) is required for the finishing touches.

**Recommended Needle Size:** To create Zeke, we suggest using DPN US #5 (3.75 mm) needles (set of 5). Alternatively, feel free to use your preferred needles for knitting in the round that suit your knitting style.

**Notions:** Don’t forget to gather your essential knitting supplies! You will need a yarn needle, scissors, a stitch marker, and one small bag of polyester fiberfill to give Zeke that delightful plush feel. This pattern not only provides a fun and engaging knitting experience but also results in a treasured toy that can be cherished for years to come.
