Savannah Chaps
Get ready to knit a delightful savannah full of cute and cuddly animals! These easy and quick knitting patterns are perfect for creating charming toys that kids of any age will adore. Whether you are an experienced knitter or just starting out, this collection offers accessible designs that will spark your creativity.
The comprehensive pattern includes step-by-step instructions for four adorable animals: an elephant, a lion, a zebra, and a rhinoceros. You can choose to knit each toy using a single type of yarn for a classic look, or mix and match multiple yarns for a fun, colorful twist—just like in my popular Scraps Chaps pattern. Additionally, you can choose either worsted or chunky weight yarn to create different sizes, making it easy to customize your projects. Both sizes use the same clear instructions, ensuring the knitting experience is enjoyable and straightforward.
To successfully create these delightful toys, you'll need to be comfortable with basic knitting techniques such as knitting, purling, increasing, decreasing, working stripes, basic intarsia, and sewing seams. Each piece is knitted flat, then carefully seamed and assembled to bring your cuddly creations to life. A complete materials list is provided in the pattern, making preparation a breeze.
Here's what you’ll need for each animal:
- Elephant: 150m of worsted or chunky yarn (Main Color - MC)
- Lion: 100m of worsted or chunky yarn (MC), 20m of worsted or chunky yarn in cream, and 25m of yarn for the lion’s mane
- Rhinoceros: 120m of worsted or chunky yarn (MC)
- Zebra: 70m of worsted or chunky yarn in white (MC) and 50m of worsted or chunky yarn (Contrast Color - CC)
