Pronghorn

The pronghorn (Antilocapra americana) is a fascinating animal that roams the grasslands and deserts from southern Canada, through the western United States, and into Mexico. Often mistaken for a mix of a goat, a deer, and an antelope, the pronghorn is unique in its own family, with its closest living relatives being the giraffes and okapi. Although pronghorns are exceptional athletes known for their incredible speed, they typically spend most of their time leisurely grazing in their natural habitats.

This delightful pronghorn knitting pattern measures approximately 18 cm in length, making it a charming addition to your collection of knitted animals. The model is designed with a medium knit technique and includes various knitting skills, such as intarsia, i-cord, and short-row knitting. You'll find yourself knitting both in the round and flat, as well as transferring and picking up stitches to create intricate details in your pronghorn.

Knitting this adorable creature requires 15 cm double-pointed needles, and for the yarn, we recommend using Rowan Felted Tweed in shades (157) camel and (188) Jaffa, along with Lana Grossa Voi Ragazza (07) white and Phildar Laine Mohair Soie (0101) Noir. To give the limbs a pliable structure, pipe cleaners are incorporated, allowing for fun posing and flexibility.

Whether you're a seasoned knitter or just starting out, this pronghorn pattern will challenge your skills while providing a rewarding and enjoyable crafting experience. Enjoy bringing this unique animal to life with your knitting needles!
