Discover an adorable collection of knitted toys with our unique pattern featuring a Bus, a Taxi, and a King's Guard! Each toy is designed with precise dimensions: the Bus measures 10cm long, 7cm high, and 5cm wide; the Taxi matches the same length at 10cm, standing 5cm tall, and maintaining a width of 5cm; while the King's Guard captures attention with a height of 7cm. Whether you're an experienced knitter or just starting out, this delightful pattern is perfect for all skill levels.

All pieces are knitted flat, making it easy for you to follow along, and there’s no need for circular knitting. The use of double-pointed needles (DPNs) is essential for crafting the i-cords that will form the adorable small arms of each toy. If you don’t have DPNs available, you can easily transfer the stitches to a working needle after completing each row, ensuring a smooth knitting experience. Don’t worry—the pattern includes detailed instructions for creating i-cords, so you’ll have all the guidance you need!

Additionally, a crochet hook is required to pick up stitches and create chains, but feel free to use one that doesn’t have to be precisely 3mm—it's all about what you have on hand!

To give your dolls personality, we recommend attaching small beads using cotton thread. These beads are usually utilized in jewelry-making and come with holes at their centers for easy application. If you'd prefer a different approach, you can opt to create charming French knots using black yarn instead of beads, allowing for variations in style.

This knitting pattern not only enhances your skills but also results in delightful, handcrafted toys that make great gifts or decorations. Perfect for craft enthusiasts, each completed piece will bring joy and nostalgia. Download our free or paid knitting pattern today and embark on your fun knitting adventure!
