Gourdgeous Strik Græskar (Strik)

The seams lined up perfectly for a beginner like me, and the extra yarn included meant I didn’t have to hunt for supplies. They’re so squat and cheerful sitting on my shelf that I’m already planning a second batch.

Assembling these took me maybe twenty minutes while watching TV, and the flat-knit pieces seamed up so neatly with the extra yarn that I actually enjoyed the process. They've got that charming, slightly wonky handmade look that makes my mantel feel properly autumnal now.

The seams lined up perfectly with the extra yarn included, so assembly took me maybe an hour while watching TV. They knit up flat just like the listing said, and now they’re scattered on my mantel—definitely the coziest corner of the room.
