Dinky Planes

Knit a charming squadron of Dinky Planes and suspend them from lengths of vibrant yarn to create an enchanting baby crib mobile. This delightful project is perfect for adding a playful touch to any nursery. To craft each adorable dinky plane, you will need less than 25 grams of yarn, along with a generous handful of toy filling to give it that soft, plush touch. Designed by the talented Amanda Berry of @fluffandfuzz, these whimsical planes are knitted using acrylic DK yarns on single-pointed needles (not in the round), ensuring they’re both fun and easy to make.

This knitting pattern is ideal for confident beginners and experienced knitters alike. You’ll learn essential techniques that enhance your skills, including casting on and off, working knits and purls, making increases and decreases, and seaming to finish your creations perfectly. Each finished plane measures approximately 8 cm long, making them the ideal size to catch your little one’s eye while gently swaying above their crib.
