Product Details
The skunk is one of the more difficult patterns because of the fur-stitched tail and the stripes that need to be sewn on – in the case of the tail, over the top of the fur loop stitches, which can be frustrating. Despite the difficulty of getting the tail and stripes right, however, this is one of my favorite patterns.

- Dark contrast yarn for eyes

- Notes
- Fingering yarn works well for the stripes, but you'll have to hold 2-3 strands as you go. Having more strands per loop makes the stripes look fluffier
