What you need to know

Knit Steffi Hochfellner’s majestic fellow with DK yarn from your stash!

This colourful character just can’t wait to be king and with that impressive hair-do, it won’t be long until he’s master of the savannah. Use yellow, pink, white and brown DK from your yarn stash. The mane is made from a variegated yarn but you can make tassels in different colours to create the same effect. It does take a while to attach all the little tassels to create the mane but it's an easy to do you're watching TV.
