Notes
I made this for Benjamin a few years back.  He saw a picture of one and had a 10p coin in his hand ready for me me to buy him one.
I found my notes while I was looking through all the half written patterns I have on the computer, so wrote it up quickly.
It hasn't been tested so if you find any mistakes please let me know.

Materials
Dk yarn in black and 6 bright colours, 4.00 mm hook, tapestry needle for sewing in ends
