Quick Plush - Combat Wombat

I have a friend that plays dodgeball and recently there was a post on Facebook showing his team logo and I just could not resist.

How do you resist making that? Really how?

So here we go.

This pattern was very quickly worked up using the yarn I have in my stash so the yarn sizes were different unfortunately. It just means though that if you follow this pattern using uniform sizes, the little rocket launcher on his back will be a tad bigger coz I designed the wombat with a worsted weight yarn and the rocket launcher with a DK weight.

Supplies

• Worsted weight yarn - light brown
• DK weight yarn - black and light blue
• 12mm pair of eyes
• Crochet hooks to match your crochet style with this weight of yarn
• Stuffing

Rocket Launcher Top

Round 2 - 13: SCx6 (6, 12 rounds)

Leave a long tail and sew closed. Sew onto the first part of the rocket launcher with a stitch at either end of the tube. To make this look nicer, double check that the gap in the HDC join is on the bottom. I did stuff this lightly with a pair of tweezers to make it more solid. 

Tie onto the wombat body with some black yarn.

Using the yarn weights at the top, this one measures 20cm across (8 inches) and 17cm tall (7 inches).
