Knit a happy capybara chef! Made from chunky yarn, the toy is quick, fun, and so cuddly. The chef's jacket and toque will exercise some of your knitting skills, and add charm to this unique plush toy.

 

The finished toy is 33 cm (13") tall. Knitting skills required include stockinette and seed stitch, m1 increases, left and right leaning decreases in knit and purl, simple intarsia, yarn-over stitch for buttonholes, picking up stitches, sewing seams, and assembling toy pieces. All the toy pieces are knit flat and then seamed.
