Niffler

Inspired by the Film Fantastic Creatures and Where to Find Them

If you're a fan of magical creatures, you may find yourself wondering: is the adorable Niffler a whole new mythical animal, or simply a clever Echidna with an irresistible urge to collect anything shiny? This charming little creature is just 7 inches tall, making it the perfect addition to your magical knitting collection!

This delightful Niffler is designed to be knitted flat using 3mm needles and standard acrylic DK yarn. A special technique using a teasing brush allows you to 'fluff' up the acrylic yarn, giving your Niffler a unique texture that really stands out—in fact, the results speak for themselves! If you prefer a different look, you can opt for DK without the fluffing technique or use a luxurious black Mohair yarn that matches the normal DK width of 11 wpi.

While this knit Niffler is perfect for display and adds a whimsical touch to any space, please note that due to its small parts, it’s not intended as a toy. Nevertheless, the Niffler ranks among the most endearing characters from the Fantastic Creatures universe!

This knitting pattern is clearly and simply written, featuring step-by-step instructions that are easy to follow. Additionally, you’ll find many helpful photos throughout the process to guide you along the way. With no complicated stitches and minimal shaping required, this pattern is suitable for knitters of all skill levels, from beginners to experienced crafters.

Embrace your inner magical creature enthusiast and start knitting your very own Niffler today. Not only will you create a captivating display piece, but you'll also enjoy the satisfaction of completing an enchanting project that embodies the spirit of the Fantastic Beasts franchise!
