Kimmy the Koala

Introducing Kimmy, the adorable tubby koala, expertly sewn in a charming sitting position! Kimmy measures approximately 15 inches (39 cm) tall, with a delightful tummy girth of 18 inches (46 cm). This unique pattern features elbows and thumbs, adding character to your cuddly creation. The good news? Creating Kimmy is a breeze! The pattern employs simple increases and decreases, so no need to worry about complicated short rows.

You can knit Kimmy using any worsted weight or Aran yarns, making it easy to find the perfect material for your project. I have successfully used a variety of yarns, including fluffy eyelash, boa, and cozy fleecy options like Snowflake and Pipsqueak, as well as Phildar Phil Douce and soft chenille. These yarn choices will add a lovely texture to your adorable koala.

This knitting pattern comes complete with a detailed step-by-step guide, replete with high-quality photos and helpful tips to assist you in assembling your plush koala, ensuring a stress-free crafting experience. Print warning: To save on printer ink and paper, I recommend printing only the knitting directions and keeping the step-by-step guide handy on your device for quick reference as you work your way through the pattern.

For increases, I utilize a simple technique of knitting into the same stitch twice, both front and back, making it straightforward to achieve the perfect shape for Kimmy. Whether you’re an experienced knitter or just starting out, this pattern will provide you with the joy of creating your very own cuddly koala companion. Happy knitting!
