Knitted Toy Pattern: Adorable Rotating Wings and Head

Create your very own cuddly knitted toy with rotating wings and head! This delightful finished toy stands approximately 5.9 inches (15 cm) tall, making it the perfect size for little hands or as a charming decorative piece. Materials Needed for Your Knitted Toy: - 4 double-pointed needles: Choose a size suitable for the yarn weight you're using. For best results, I recommend opting for needles one or two sizes smaller than the yarn suggests to achieve a firm, durable fabric. I personally used size 2 (3mm) needles. - Body and Head: Use Melange Kroy Socks 4 Ply from Patons North America, which is a fingering weight yarn (75% Wool, 25% Nylon) with 175 meters per 50 grams. - Eyes: For the eyes, select a white acrylic yarn from Kartopu's "Flora" line (230 meters / 100 grams). - Wings, Legs, and Ears: Use Melange fluffy yarn like YarnArt «TECNO» (100% polyamide) or the Funnyby Sandnes Garn Worsted (10 ply, 100% Polyester, 89 meters / 50 grams). - Claws and Nose: A brown acrylic yarn, also from Kartopu's "Flora" range (230 meters / 100 grams), is perfect for these details. - Additional Supplies: Toy stuffing to give your knitted creation its lovable shape, plastic safety eyes to bring it to life, a yarn needle for convenient stitching, and a stitch holder to keep everything organized. With these materials at hand, you'll enjoy making a charming toy that not only brings joy to its holder but also enhances your knitting skills. Follow our detailed instructions, and soon you'll have a wonderfully whimsical knitted toy that is perfect for gifting or as a treasured keepsake. Happy knitting!
