Moos-imo and Junior

Meet Moos-imo and his charming son Junior, a delightful pair of Alberta moose stuffies that will bring joy to any knitting enthusiast. These adorable moose are a perfect addition to any collection and make for a unique Christmas gift for yourself or a loved one. A few years ago, my friend inspired me to create a knit moose for her growing assortment of moose ornaments, leading to this delightful design that she eagerly anticipates each holiday season. Moos-imo is expertly crafted using Astra yarn, while Junior is lovingly knit in the lighter Baby Smiles yarn by Schachenmayr. This fun and engaging knitting pattern includes detailed photos that guide you in creating not only the moose but also the whimsical ski set and sled, as well as instructions for crafting the moose's impressive antlers. This easy knit design features a combination of moss stitch and stocking stitch, using techniques such as pfb (purl front and back) and kfb (knit front and back) increases. Short rows are utilized for shaping the elbows and knees, making this project both manageable and rewarding for knitters of all skill levels. You’ll find that this pattern is quick and enjoyable, requiring approximately one skein of Astra yarn and about 100 meters of baby yarn. Whether you’re an experienced knitter or just starting out, creating Moos-imo and Junior will provide you with a fun and fulfilling project, perfect for the holiday season or any time of year.
