The kids always love this one: a little squirrel sitting up, its big bushy tail curling from its back up and over its head — that tail is really the star of this pattern! Start by laying down that big curved tail in light brown, then build the body and head underneath, not forgetting the small cream belly patch and the tiny acorn held up front. Lea’s tip: place the tail beads by following the curve of the grid step by step, rather than row by row, so you don’t lose track of the shape. Once ironed, this cheeky little squirrel makes a sweet fridge magnet or a charm to clip onto a backpack for the start of autumn.
