Billy Bookworm

A voracious reader and little poet, meet the little bookworm William Wormsworth (known to close friends as Billy). Billy has munched through an apple which is weighed down with dried rice inside so it can be used as paperweight on your desk. This would make a super thank you gift for a teacher or librarian. Billy is wearing doll’s spectacles, but if you don’t have these in your local craft store you can bend wire to shape instead. Designed by Amanda Berry @fluffandfuzz, this toy is knitted in acrylic DK yarns on single pointed needles (not in the round). For confident beginners and above, other techniques used include casting on and off, knits, purls, increases and decreases, and seaming to finish.
