CONSTRUCTION
Otto was designed to be round and cuddly but still easy for little hands to grasp. He knits up quickly and the size can be varied by changing the weight of yarn used. Otto would make a wonderful gift for any kid, or adult.GAUGE
26 sts and 36 rounds = 10 cm / 4” in stocking stitch for smaller version.
20 sts and 24 rounds = 10 cm / 4” in stocking stitch for larger version.
Because size is not crucial to this project the gauge does not need to be matched exactly and the overall size can be changed by changing the yarn weight and needle size. The most important thing is to work Otto at a relatively tight gauge to create a firm fabric without holes that the stuffing can poke through. If you are using a different yarn weight you should use needles to achieve a tighter than recommended gauge.VERSION INFORMATION
