Red Squirrel Sisters

Discover the charm of the red squirrel, one of the UK's most beloved small mammals, with this delightful knitting pattern for adorable knitted squirrel sisters! Known for their cheeky demeanor and striking tufted ears, these knitted squirrels will surely endear themselves to you and your loved ones. This unique pattern features two enchanting characters: the extravagant Suzie, with her super tufted tail, and the resourceful Layla, who sports a beautifully loopy tail that not only looks appealing but also uses less wool. With this pattern, you can create two Laylas using just one ball each of marmalade Woodland and Plume yarn. However, to knit Suzie, you will need most of one ball of Plume yarn.

Designed for knitters who enjoy working with straight needles, this pattern incorporates seams that provide the structure and shape to your adorable squirrels. Most of the knitting involves smooth stocking stitch, making it a satisfying project to undertake. While the essential knitting and sewing skills required are quite manageable, keep in mind that this pattern includes several increases and decreases that demand attention to detail. As such, it may not be the best fit for absolute beginners unless they are particularly patient and eager to learn. This knitting pattern is perfect for creating a decorative item for your home or a lovely toy for children and adults alike. Embrace your creativity and add these charming knitted squirrels to your collection today!
