Knit

Knit – make (a garment, blanket, etc.) by interlocking loops of wool or other yarn with knitting needles or on a machine.

Burrow

Burrow – A burrow is a hole or tunnel dug by a small animal, especially a rabbit, as a dwelling. A tunnel can be burrowed by a groundhog.

Prickles are sharp needles or thorns on bushes, cactus, plants or animals. Prickles will poke your finger!
