Zia The Zebra
Zia The Zebra has the biggest sweet tooth. She loves whipping up new flavors of milkshakes and sharing them with her family and friends.
Skill Level: Advanced Beginner
The pattern is written in U.S. crochet terms, complete with clear instructions and pictures to help you along the way. Zia The Zebra is crocheted in continuous spirals without joining the rounds. I suggest using a stitch marker or different color yarn to keep track of each round. Zia The Zebra is crocheted in worsted weight yarn and is approximately 6 inches tall including top of the ear. Be aware that size may vary depending on the yarn and hook size used. Gauge is not particularly important, just be consistent with the tension you are using. And most importantly, have fun!
