**Knitted Toy Pattern: Adorable Toy with Rotatable Arms** Create your very own cuddly knitted toy with this delightful pattern! Standing at approximately 5.12 inches (or 13 cm) tall, this charming project is perfect for Intermediate Beginner Knitters looking to enhance their knitting skills. The unique design features rotatable arms, adding an interactive element that makes this toy even more special. **Materials Needed:** To get started on your knitted toy, gather the following materials: - **4 double-pointed needles:** Choose a size suitable for your yarn weight; I recommend using needles one or two sizes smaller than the yarn suggests to achieve a firm fabric. For this project, I used size 2 (3mm). - **Yarn:** Light green, lime, and blue yarns are ideal for this toy. I recommend NAKO Superlambs Special, which is a cozy blend of 50% wool and 50% premium acrylic. You'll need approximately 100g (200m) total. - **Toy stuffing:** Ensure your toy is soft and huggable by using quality stuffing. - **Yarn needle:** For seamless stitching and finishing touches. - **Stitch holder:** To manage your stitches while knitting. - **2 buttons:** These will add adorable features to your finished toy. - **White felt:** Useful for crafting the eyes or any other decorative elements. - **Felt for mouth:** Choose a color that complements your design. This pattern is not only fun to knit but is also a great way to create a delightful gift for children or a charming decorative piece for your home. By following this easy-to-understand guide, you’ll be able to construct a beautiful and interactive knitted toy that features rotatable arms, allowing for playful positioning!
