Alex Kit

By Coop Knits

Calling all fans of A Year of Techniques! Project 3 of A Year of Techniques is Alex the Mouse, an adorable pattern by Ella Austin. We have frankly never made a stuffed animal before, but we are finding that Alex is a compelling, child-ready cuddler. And if you’ve never tried a pinhole cast on, well, Alex is a gateway to a whole new way of casting on. Mind boggling!

Each kit contains three skeins of yarn.

Note: this is for the yarn kit only. The pattern appears in A Year of Techniques, a book with digital edition download code, available from MDK here.

Part of the fun of A Year of Techniques is discovering new yarns. What a pleasure to bring you Rachel Coopey’s one-and-only yarn, Socks Yeah! It’s beautiful stuff: the shades are soft, marled in a subtle way that adds depth, named for gemstones. It is exactly what we need to make Project 3 in A Year of Techniques.

Each kit contains three skeins of yarn.

Note: this is for the yarn kit only. The pattern appears in A Year of Techniques, a book with digital edition download code, available from MDK here.
