Emergency Vehicles

Introducing a delightful trio of emergency vehicles for your playtime adventures: a fire engine, ambulance, and police car, beautifully designed by Amanda Berry @fluffandfuzz. Each vehicle is meticulously knitted in garter stitch using high-quality acrylic DK yarns on single pointed needles, making them a perfect project for advanced beginner and intermediate knitters alike. With a focus on creating engaging and imaginative toys, this pattern will spark creativity and fun in children and adults alike. The body of each vehicle features clever short row shaping in garter stitch, ensuring a unique and eye-catching design. The wheels are knitted separately and are securely sewn onto the vehicles after assembly, while the charming window struts are brought to life through a simple yet effective chain stitch embroidery technique. Additionally, the light bars and ladders adorning the tops of these emergency vehicles are crafted using i-cord tubes worked on two double pointed needles (DPNs), adding an extra layer of detail and craftsmanship. Other essential techniques covered in this knitting pattern include casting on and off, knitting basic knits and purls, making increases and decreases, creating vibrant knitting stripes, as well as seaming and decorative embroidery to finish. The completed ambulance measures 17 cm long, the fire engine comes in at 19 cm long, and the police car is 14 cm long, making them the perfect size for little hands. This knitting pattern not only hones your knitting skills, but it also results in playful, handcrafted toys that can be cherished for years to come.
