Pattern: Pentapus
Yarn: Sirdar Snowflake and Cascade 220
I love this pentapus. It's been a while since I make Texas the stegosaurus for Chris and I'd forgotten how much fun it is making toys for people who are too old for toys. Laz adores him too, as is only right for someone who comes complete with his own monocle and twirly moustache. I now have a massive bag of stuffing I don't know what to do with as the fabric shop only sold 450g bags. Hmm. I shall have to find some more people who will appreciate something this bizarre and pointless.
Sir Reg's hat was made up as I went along (the original floppy hat obviously not his style), I decreased all the way round as soon as I attached it and increased gradually to flare it out, then purled a round to make a turning ridge before decreasing sharply to the middle.

Awww how cute! At first I didn't realise he was knitted. I'm loving the shrug too. I defo need to make myself some of those.
...oh my goodness! Why is he not an internet cult, with his own fan site and ringtone? Who'd have thought someone with a top hat could be so cuddly-looking?
