Toy Kangaroo & Joey
Introducing our delightful toy kangaroo knitting pattern featuring a charming kangaroo mum and her adorable baby joey! This duo is perfect for any knitting enthusiast, combining fun and functionality. The baby joey is big enough to hop around on his own but can easily snuggle inside mum’s pouch when he’s feeling tired. Inspired by the Eastern grey kangaroos that grace our beautiful Queensland landscape in Australia, these toy kangaroos are designed with playful adaptations in mind—after all, they're toys! With their big, sturdy feet, they can stand proudly in any playroom or nursery.
Our knitting pattern is simple and enjoyable! These toys are knitted using two needles and are made from 8 ply/DK yarn in your choice of color. For an authentic look, consider using a reddish-brown yarn to represent the striking red kangaroos found in the wild. You’ll need between 85 and 100 grams of your main color yarn, along with an additional 5 grams of pale pink yarn for the inside of the ears for both mum and joey. The result is a beautifully crafted toy that captures the spirit of Australia’s wildlife.
In addition to the joy of creating handcrafted toys, you’ll be pleased to know that this pattern is part of a successful Australian bushfire fundraising campaign aimed at supporting affected wildlife. Although the campaign has now concluded, it raised an impressive AU$1,610 through the sale of six unique knitting patterns—an outstanding achievement that thanks to the support of generous contributors like you who purchased the patterns!
We appreciate the knitting community's response and encourage everyone to join the cause. Get started on your very own toy kangaroo mum and joey today! Not only will you enjoy the crafting process, but you'll also create a treasured gift that can be passed down through generations. Happy knitting!
