Rat Mischievous red-haired
Introducing our delightful knitted rat toy pattern, perfect for both novice and experienced knitters! This adorable rat toy features a movable head and arms, ensuring that it’s not just a cuddly companion but also an interactive plaything. The finished rat measures approximately 8.66 inches (22 cm) tall from the tips of its ears down to its tiny toes, making it an ideal size for children and collectors alike.
In this fun and engaging knitting project, you'll need the following materials to bring your knitted rat to life:
- 4 double-pointed needles in a size suitable for the yarn weight you are using. For best results, I recommend using needles a size or two smaller than the yarn's recommended size to create a firm fabric. For this pattern, I used size 2 (3mm) needles.
- Soft white yarn for the main body of the rat
- Pink yarn for the nose, mouth, and claws, adding charming detail
- Polyester toy stuffing for a fluffy finish
- Fishing line for the whimsical moustache
- Plastic safety eyes or beads to give your rat a lively expression
- A yarn needle for assembly and weaving in ends
- A stitch holder to keep your stitches secure
- Red and green yarn for a delightful dress and fun long stockings
- Soft yellow yarn for a playful hairdo
- A 2-segment red ribbon to embellish the outfit
This engaging pattern is ideal for expanding your knitting skills and creating a charming toy that can be treasured. Whether you're knitting for a child, for gifting, or simply for the joy of creating, this knitted rat toy will be a delightful addition to any toy collection. Don't forget, our pattern comes in both English and Russian: for the English version, please print pages 1-28, and for the Russian version, print pages 29-57.
