**Knitting Pattern for a Rotating Arm Toy - Approx. 6.69 Inches Tall** Create a charming toy with this delightful knitting pattern designed for intermediate knitters. Standing at approximately 6.69 inches (17 cm) tall, this finished toy features rotating arms, making it an engaging and interactive addition to your collection. **Materials Required:** - **Double-Pointed Needles**: 4 needles in a size suitable for your chosen yarn weight. For this project, I recommend using size 2 needles (3 mm), which are a size or two smaller than what the yarn suggests to ensure a firm, durable fabric. - **Yarn**: - Orange acrylic yarn from the "Flora" line by Kartopy (230 meters / 100 grams). This yarn is perfect for creating bright and vivid details. - White soft eyelash yarn from Baby Softy by Alize (100% Polyester, 115 meters / 50 grams) adds a touch of fluffiness to your toy. - **Stuffing**: Toy stuffing to give your creation a plush and cuddly feel. - **Plastic Eyes**: To add character to your toy. - **Yarn Needle**: For weaving in ends and securing pieces together. - **Wire**: Approximately 3-4 mm in diameter, with a length of 16 cm, which will help in ensuring the arms can rotate smoothly. - **Stitch Holder**: To keep your stitches organized while you work. This easy-to-follow pattern combines fun with functionality as you knit and assemble your toy.
