OTTER by Georgina Manvell

Introducing MR OTTER, a delightful knitting pattern that measures 23 cm (9 in) from the top of his head to the base when crafted in soft 4-ply yarn. This charming design captures the heart of knitting enthusiasts and animal lovers alike!

This lovely pattern was meticulously created by the talented designer Georgina Manvell. It made its first debut in the well-loved publication Home & Country in September 1990, within an article titled "Animal Magic Country Almanack: Knitted Animals". This unique design has stood the test of time, and we’ve included a nostalgic picture of the original Otter featured in the 1990 issue of Home & Country for your inspiration.

In our quest to give Mr. Otter a fresh and modern look, we took the time to photograph him in my lovely garden setting. Doesn’t he look fantastic? We are proud to present this knitting pattern exactly as it appeared in Home & Country, but with a stunning new updated picture and an enhanced format for easier reading and accessibility.

Furthermore, Georgina and I, Suzannah Holwell, now collaborate in partnership, sharing joint copyrights on this delightful pattern. Whether you're a seasoned knitter or just starting your crafting journey, MR OTTER is the perfect project to showcase your skills and bring a bit of whimsy into your home. Enjoy this timeless pattern, create your own adorable Mr. Otter, and let this charming creature bring joy to your knitting collection!
