My husband and I like to listen to audiobooks when we have long drives. We like to pick books that will be interesting to both of us. This year for our drive to and from Missouri we listened to Project Hail Mary by Andy Weir. We both fell in love with Rocky, and my husband asked me if I could make a Rocky. So I took on the challenge.
I looked and was unable to find a Rocky pattern (no be sad). So I decided I would make one myself. I made my Rocky with brown and green yarn after consultation with my husband. We also decided that this pattern would not contain Rocky’s three fingers on each leg. This way it could stand easier. After I finished my Rocky plushie, I decided to write up the pattern. Hope you enjoy making this project! Jazz Hands!
