Ya Filthy Animal

Filthy Animal is worked in the normal overlay mosaic row-by-row technique. This wall hanging is free to download as a wee Christmas present to all my lovely customers. I’ve always loved adding a little holiday humour to my décor, and this quote from one of my all-time favourite Christmas films never fails to make me smile. So of course, I had to turn it into a festive crochet wall-hanging! (or cushion cover) If you’re downloading this pattern, I’m guessing you know exactly which movie this line comes from. --------------------------------------------- The pattern PDF has two easy-to-read charts and corresponding written instructions for both left and right-handers. Two PDFs are available - one using US terms and one using UK terms. --------------------------------------------- If using DK weight yarn, you will need approximately: * Colour A – 225 metres / 246 yards * Colour B – 205 metres / 225 yards * Double border – 145 metres / 158 yards For this example, I used Yarnsmiths Create DK in Claret Red and Pale Silver [https://www.woolwarehouse.co.uk/yarn/yarnsmiths-create-dk-all-colours][1] **Main Body:** * Colour A – Yarnsmiths Create DK in Claret Red – 1 skein * Colour B – Yarnsmiths Create DK in Pale Silver – 1 skein **2-row double border:** * Colour A – Yarnsmiths Create DK in Claret Red – 1 skein **Tools:** * 4mm hook (for the main body) * 3mm hook (for the double border) * Scissors * Stitch markers **Size:** The size (without the border) will be approx. 50cm x 50cm **Gauge:** • 18 stitches and 18 rows for a 10x10cm tension square using a 4mm hook. --------------------------------------------- This design was created using my free small mosaic alphabet.
