This is a downloadable PFD knitting pattern
Inspired by Badger, in The Wind in the Willows, Bartlett (meaning son of the earth) is a bold and striking badger. The two tones are simple but effective. The main head is knitted flat in stocking stitch starting with ear flaps we work in intarsia to create the shape of his face, decreasing to shape the crown. The features are knitted separately, sewn together then attached to the head. The snout is stuffed with toy stuffing which together with Bartlett’s nose creates a fantastic 3D effect. Bartlett is finished with his black and white ears and eyes.

One of my personal favourites! Bartlett will make a perfect Mr Badger. Step into the Wild Woods, have adventures with friends and try to keep Mr Toad in order. Muse the Mole, River the Rat and Tilia the Toad will make great companions in this beautiful woodland story.
