Hare and Tortoise Game Board

This delightful knitted pattern is designed to be created flat, eliminating the need for circular knitting. Once completed, the pieces are simply sewn together, making it a straightforward and enjoyable project for knitters of all skill levels.

The pattern is presented over 9 detailed pages and includes step-by-step photos to guide you through every stage of the process, ensuring your finished project comes together beautifully.

Upon completion, you'll have a charming game board measuring 5.5 inches x 5.5 inches (13.5 cm x 13.5 cm), along with adorable animal figures that stand at 1.5 inches (4 cm). This project is perfect for using oddments of DK (8-ply) yarn in a variety of colors:

• [A] White
• [B] Green
• [C] Moss Green
• [D] Light Green
• [E] Brown

For this project, you'll need the following tools: a set of 2.75-3mm double-pointed needles (DPNs) - using DPNs is highly recommended for crafting the i-cords; and a chenille needle for assembly.

Achieve a tension of 28 stitches and 36 rows to equal a 10 cm square. While achieving this tension is not essential for this pattern, it can help ensure consistency in your work.

In addition to the yarn and tools, gather a few additional supplies: a small amount of Dark Brown 2-ply yarn (or you can take two strands from Dark Brown DK), toy stuffing to give life to your creations, and a piece of lightweight cardboard for stability.

Whether you’re creating a unique game board for family fun or crafting whimsical decorations, this knitting pattern is a perfect addition to your collection. Dive into this enjoyable knitting project today and bring your imaginative game board and cute animals to life!
