knit from knitpicks swish using Terry Ross's 'What a croc' pattern (www.terryrossdesigns.com/scarves.html) I modified the pattern by knitting a striped lining (knit with shaping as for the gator top but without the scales) and sewed them both together with an i-cord all around. I also modified the teeth by picking up sts around the snout and knitting a short picot hem.
