I've knitted and stuffed these with Jamieson's Shetland wool, then welt felted them and embroidered them with more Shetland wool, cotton floss and tiny glass beads.

Badgers are usually better know from their lawn work (digging holes for tasty grubs), but this badger was caught on film while daffodil gardening. If you would like to make your own tiny daffodils, like the one the badger is holding, you can find my free pattern either here on the pattern page  of my website or over on Ravelry .]]></description><link>https://www.woollenwave.co.uk/post/spring-badgers</link><guid isPermaLink="false">69b2c86b9f757da15ac632f0</guid><category><![CDATA[knitted beasties]]></category><pubDate>Thu, 12 Mar 2026 14:18:01 GMT</pubDate><enclosure url="http://video.wixstatic.com/video/a1fb15_7bcfc790c50947898b7490929d57d7e9/1080p/mp4/file.mp4" length="0" type="video"/><dc:creator>Sue Holt</dc:creator></item><item><title><![CDATA[Whitebeam Mitts ]]></title><description><![CDATA[My Whitebeam Mitt knitting pattern is in the upcoming issue 8 of The Journal Of Scottish Yarns . Their design reflects the Swedish Whitebeam trees that line the old marketplace in the village where I live. A line of Swedish Whitebeam berry bobbles and a lobed leaf travel down the back of the hand, enclosed by curving cables. They're knit in a cosy DK - I used 'Scottish Merino', Balmerino DK  and Di Gilpin's Bell Wether.

My moles began when I forgot to knit the top of a badger's head and it looked a little moley, followed by lots of swatching and tweaking  to make it properly moley - long pink-tipped nose, little legs and tail, etc. I t took me a few attempts to work out how to sensibly make sweet mole paws suitable for digging - my final version is very jazz paws!
