Robot

Unleash your inner evil genius and create your very own standing army of robots or craft a delightful knitted companion for a child who loves space stories! This imaginative knitting pattern guides you through creating a charming Robot that stands tall with no internal inserts or wires in its legs, showcasing the power of yarn engineering.

Designed for INTERMEDIATE knitters, this pattern incorporates essential techniques such as short row shaping (fully detailed within the pattern) and the versatile 3 Needle Bind Off. Most of the Robot is crafted flat on straight needles, with a bit of knitting in the round to give it shape and character. Notably, there's only one sewn seam in this project, making it a fun and manageable challenge for those looking to elevate their knitting skills.

SKILLS REQUIRED: You’ll need a solid grasp of Garter Stitch and Stockinette Stitch, as well as the ability to knit in the round and flat. Familiarity with K2tog, short row shaping (explained in detail), picking up stitches, 3 Needle Bind Off, and some basic sewing will help you create this delightful knitted Robot.

MATERIALS REQUIRED: Get ready to knit with approximately 80 yards of Worsted yarn in your Main Color and about 40 yards in a Contrast Color. You’ll need US size 5 (3.75 mm) double-pointed needles (dpns) along with US size 4 (3.5 mm) crochet hook. Don’t forget the buttons or felt for those adorable eyes, as well as stitch markers, stitch holders, a tapestry needle, and fiberfill for stuffing your creation.
