Amigurumi Knits. ZIN the Zebra.
Discover our delightful KNIT PATTERN for an adorable Zebra, instantly downloadable upon purchase. This exclusive listing provides a meticulously crafted PDF KNIT PATTERN in English, perfect for both novice and experienced knitters looking to enhance their skills.
Method: This pattern is designed to be worked flat on two needles, allowing for a straightforward knitting experience. Once you’re finished with the body, you'll easily close seams using a tapestry needle for a polished finish. No crochet skills are required, making it accessible for those who prefer knit-only projects.
Finished Zebra Dimensions: The completed Zebra measures approximately 30 cm from the tip of its ear to the heel edge and has a waist measurement of 25 cm. Please note that variations in yarn thickness and your personal tension during knitting may impact the final size of your finished product.
Yarn Specifications: This pattern calls for a cotton-like yarn blend of acrylic and cotton for optimal softness and durability. We recommend using a yarn weight of (2) Fine – Sport, which you can substitute with DK or Light Worsted yarns. If you choose to go with a heavier yarn, simply use the same size needles, understanding that the final product may be slightly larger overall.
Gauge is critical for achieving the desired dimensions: Using 2.25mm needles, aim for a gauge of 32 stitches and 40 rows per 10x10cm square. Alternatively, with 2.75mm needles, aim for 27 stitches and 36 rows per 10x10cm square to ensure your Zebra turns out just right.
Color Palette: Get creative with the colors you use for your Zebra! Here are our suggestions:
- Trousers & coat: Dark blue for a classic look
- T-shirt & glasses: Bright red to add vibrancy
- Bodice: Soft white & black for a striking contrast
- Muzzle: A cute pink to complete the adorable character
