The Wild Bunch

Get ready to unleash your creativity and enjoy the art of knitting with our delightful pattern for Sidney, Riley, and Frankie—three whimsical friends that are perfect for inspiring a child's world of wonder and playful imagination. These adorable characters are crafted using vibrant colors and a unique reverse stockinette stitch, making each one stand out with its own personality. Sidney boasts a charming wind-blown look with playful stripes, while Riley adds a touch of fun with bubbly strands that stick out in every direction. Frankie, on the other hand, shines bright like the sun with eye-catching, bursting rays and a lovely picot edge. They’re not just toys; they’re companions that will ignite the imagination of any child lucky enough to play with them!

This knitting pattern includes detailed directions along with exciting variations for three distinct top mop styles, allowing for endless creativity! Each character requires 60-75 yards of cotton, worsted weight yarn for the body. For the different top mop variations, you’ll need additional yardage: Sidney’s stripes call for 4 different colors at 4 yards each; Riley’s bubbly strands require 5 colors ranging from 3 to 6 yards each; and Frankie’s bursting rays need 2 colors at 6 yards each.

While 100% cotton, worsted weight yarn is recommended for optimal results, don’t hesitate to explore other yarn types that suit your preferences. Grab your knitting needles, gather your materials, and start crafting this vibrant wild bunch! Create a crowd of these lovable characters for a special little one and witness the joy of imaginative play come to life.
