Materials:

• 2.5 mm and 4 mm needle

• Wool sewing needle

• Knitting thread for 2.5 mm needle in 2 colors

• Knitting thread for 4 mm needle in 1 color

• 2 x 10.5mm safety eyes (can also embroider eyes)

• Filling

I used the following thread:

o Phildar coton 3, Minerai (color 48): about 120 gr

o Phildar coton 3, Silver (color 74): about 25 gr

o By Claire nº 2, Black (color 325): about 50 gr (I used a whole ball)

I used a 2.5mm needle. The final size is about 28 cm high. If you want to make your burrito bigger or smaller, use a thicker or finer thread and needle. For the mane and tail, I used a thicker thread and a 4mm needle.

Make sure to knit tight, so the stitches don’t come apart and the filling can be seen between the holes. The pattern is woven in a spiral, unless otherwise indicated.

Take your time to find the right spot before sewing the pieces together as it will be done permanently. In this way you will achieve the best result and a pleasant appearance.

Abbreviations:

dec = decrease (close 2 sc together)

* +… X = Repeat the instructions in brackets… (number)… times

(…) = The number of stitches at the end of each round indicates the number

total points for that round

Magic Ring: Wrap the thread 3 times around one finger of the left hand. Of

left to right, leaving the ends of the thread to the right. Insert the needle between the 3

loops and your finger and pull the loop below the left below the other two.

Knit a ch. Take the two loops off your finger. You now have a 2-loop ring where

you must weave your stitches around it. Hold the ring between your fingers and knit the number of

dots indicating the pattern. After that, pull the ring firmly.
