New Knitting Pattern: Sparkle Beetle


Metallic beetles fascinate me. Their beautiful colors and body structure are striking and sometimes creepy. I wanted to create a toy that captured that glitter and form, but also had a sense of humor. So, the Sparkle Beetle knitting pattern is born.

This knitting pattern uses 4 balls of Shine Worsted yarn by Knit Picks where a thin metallic yarn is held together with this soft cotton yarn so the beetle sparkles.


The beetle measures 12” long x 11” wide, from leg to leg.


The pattern is available in my etsy store, ansleybleu.etsy.com
