A knitted plush alligator named Big Hank — Big Hank is just under three feet long.

Big Hank is a version of this Lion Brand Yarn pattern, made with Lion brand Silky Twist instead of the Homespun yarn called for in the pattern. He’ll be going to live with the little boy he was made for in North Jersey in the next week or two. Go, Big Hank!
