Trilobites were a group of arthropods that lived 530 – 251 million years ago. There were
many different species of trilobites (over 17,000!) and their hard, easily fossilized exoskeleton
makes them a fairly common fossil. This cute and chubby little guy can be knit at any gauge
– just make sure that it is firm enough so that the stuffing doesn’t show through. He would
make a good pin cushion or cat toy if you put some catnip and maybe a bell in the stuffing.

Hi, the link doesn’t seem to work. Is the pattern still available somewhere? I’m a palaeontologist who’s just learning to knit, and I’d love to knit some fossils!
