Digging is his passion: Max the Mole was content with his life, but then someday the gardeners came to his park! Max was positively stunned. With their big construction machines they built the highest and most beautiful mounds he had ever seen – in no time at all. Now he is dreaming of his own excavator, preferably in yellow. So if you are pondering over redesigning your garden – consider granting your mole his wish!
Choose any yarn you like or have left over – Max the mole will be bigger or smaller depending on the yarn. If you knit Max for a child, make sure the yarn is robust, washable and doesn’t pill too much.
Happy digging, ahem, knitting! Yours Steffi
