Pocket Woodland Pals

Discover the joy of knitting with our delightful flat-knitted animal pattern! Each adorable animal, measuring 11cm excluding the ears, is crafted using a simple yet effective technique that requires no circular knitting—perfect for knitters of all skill levels. These charming creatures share the same basic body pattern, making them easy to create, and they feature stylish knitted outfits that are permanently integrated into their designs—except for their cozy scarves, which can be removed for a touch of versatility. With detailed instructions provided over 7 pages, you'll be well-guided throughout the process.

For this project, you'll need DK (8-ply) yarn, specifically: [A] 15g Cream, [B] 15g Orange, [C] 5g Red, [D] 15g Dark Brown, and [E] 10g Yellow-Green. We recommend using Sirdar Snuggly DK yarn, which comes in 50g skeins yielding 165m of soft and durable fabric, composed of 55% Nylon and 45% Acrylic for a comfortable finish.

In addition to the yarn, you’ll require a few essential materials to bring your animal friends to life: a small amount of pink 4-ply (fingering) yarn, three pairs of 5mm mushroom-shaped black eye beads or safety eyes, and some toy stuffing to ensure your creations are perfectly plump.

To equip yourself for this knitting adventure, gather the following tools: 3mm knitting needles, a stitch holder or a spare needle, a chenille needle for easy sewing, and a good pair of scissors. This pattern guarantees not only a fun crafting experience but also results in charming knitted animals that are sure to delight children and adults alike.
