Knitted Chinook Pattern
According to Sarah at the Trying to Grok blog, a chinook helicopter is the “most stuffed-animalizable military vehicle that exists.” I would argue that a submarine might be slightly easier, but they’re definitely close. Sarah made one for a friend’s new baby, and typed up the pattern to share with all of you.
