Size: When crafted using worsted weight yarn, this adorable toy stands approximately 4 inches tall, from the top of its head to the bottom of its feet. The finished product makes a charming gift or a delightful toy to keep for yourself!
For the sample shown in the images, we used 12mm safety eyes, which add a whimsical touch to Bugle's character.
Gauge: Any size yarn can be utilized for this project, as long as you adjust your needle size accordingly. Aim to create a dense fabric to ensure the polyfill stuffing does not poke through. It’s recommended to select a needle that is at least 1 or 2 sizes smaller than what is suggested on the yarn label. This approach not only provides a sturdier fabric but also enhances the overall durability of your finished piece.
With its combination of approachable techniques and rewarding results, the Bugle knitting pattern is a fantastic choice for both new and experienced knitters looking to add a touch of handmade magic to their collection. Grab your yarn, and let’s get knitting!
