Animal Heads: Giant

Giant Ram Head Knitting Kit

Make your own farm friend with my ram head knitting kit. This project is a great introduction to faux taxidermy as it uses basic knitting techniques, like knitting, purling, increasing and decreasing. There's no colour changing, and this pattern uses stitch markers to help place the ram’s features.
