Numberblocks: One!

Are you a fan of Numberblocks? Are your kids enchanted by the colorful world of Numberblocks? If so, there's no better way to bring this beloved show into your home than by creating a series of adorable knitted Numberblocks! Imagine the joy of cuddling with your very own handmade Numberblocks—it's simply unbeatable!

This delightful cuddly One is expertly knitted in the round using 4.25 mm or 4.5 mm double-pointed needles (dpns) and Aran weight yarn. While gauge isn’t critical, feel free to substitute with a lighter weight yarn if you prefer a smaller version of your Numberblocks toy. The body of this charming character is crafted as a continuous piece, with the face beautifully added using a duplicate stitch technique before diving into the decrease rounds (a helpful chart is included for your convenience). The arms and legs are knitted separately and seamlessly attached at the end, giving your Numberblocks a polished look.

For this project, you’ll need less than 40g of vibrant bright red yarn and small scrap amounts of dark red, black, and white for the arms, legs, and facial features. Don't forget to gather some stuffing to give your knitted Numberblocks that cuddly feel! Additionally, having a tapestry needle on hand will be invaluable for those finishing touches, and using stitch markers can greatly assist in keeping track of your stitches (though they're not strictly essential).

This pattern requires several essential knitting skills including: casting on and joining in the round, knitting, purling, kfb (knit front and back), m1r (make 1 right), m1l (make 1 left), ssk (slip, slip, knit), k2tog (knit two together), three needle bind off, and duplicate stitch. Whether you’re a seasoned knitter or relatively new to the craft, creating your own knitted Numberblocks will be a fun and rewarding experience!
