Oscar the Grouch

A quick design I made for my little one when the first name he knew from Sesame Street was "Occar!" I used Touch of Alpaca for most of Oscar's body, and a bulky yarn from my stash for his trash can. Gauge is not crucial, just make sure you are using a hook that will give you a tight stitch, G and J are recommended. My trashcan still came out a little "soft", but I like how it makes it look dented, like Oscar's real can! I admit I did not put as much time into writing out the pattern steps as usual, so please don't hesitate to contact me if you have questions. Enjoy!
