What you need to know

Use DK yarn to knit Amanda Berry's snap-happy crocodile, complete with suitcase!

With suitcase in hand and sporting his most vibrant shirt, this fine fellow is about to jet off on holiday. Don’t you wish you were going with him? The pattern makes clever use of the purl side of stocking stitch, while the final details are added with embroidery. The suitcase straps and handles are crocheted but don’t worry if you’re new to the technique, we’ve included how-to instructions in our info panel or you can check out our FREE how-to video.
