Roscoe the Rhino

My brother's fiancee works at The Wilds ([link] is pretty much the most awesome job ever. She has a new office and all her coworkers have the coolest work-related stuff filling their space. I made her a knit rhino to help decorate. The pattern came from the World of Knitted Toys ([link] which is really not the best knitting book. It could have seriously used a few more diagrams, some gauge, and better descriptions of the yarn/tools needed. After I got Roscoe 80% finished, I just started winging it and had to make some of my own creative adjustments. The pattern called for extra flaps and things that just were not going to look right or function as the pattern described.

The other plushie I tried to create using this book was not so great either.
