Meet Elijah



Elijah is an extremely clever knit from Scottish designer, Ysolda Teague. Elijah is entirely seamless. You knit the head, pick up for the body, pick up for the arms, legs and ears. And then you're done! Just embroider on the eyes and weave in any ends.

The version shown above was knit by one of our staff for a holiday gift in Cascade 220.
