A cozy little beaver for my fellow Canadians, and anyone who loves a sweet, toothy smile. Stranded colour-work is used to create his handsome coat, or make it plain with 40 g of a single colour. While the toy is intermediate level, the sweater coat is advanced because of the colour-work, garment construction, and pattern charts. The toy pieces are all knit flat, then seamed and assembled.
