Adorable Cuddly Tiger Knitting Pattern

Unleash your creativity with this adorable, cuddly tiger pattern, perfect for knitting enthusiasts! This pattern uses DK weight yarn held doubled, which can be substituted with worsted weight yarn held single stranded, ensuring a hardwearing and snuggly toy made for endless cuddles. Whether you're looking to create a charming gift or vibrant décor, this tiger is a delightful project for knitters of all skill levels.

Our comprehensive pattern comes with two sets of instructions: the first option allows you to work the body seamlessly in the round and attach the chest detail at the end, making it perfect for those who prefer a straightforward knit. The second option introduces intarsia in the round for those seeking a more challenging experience, which minimizes finishing work to just attaching the head and embroidering the cute face. Choose the method that inspires you the most!

This unique pattern includes both clear written and charted instructions for the intarsia work on the body, making it accessible for intermediate knitters eager to learn new techniques. Here’s your chance to master advanced knitting techniques such as (optional) intarsia in the round (fully explained within the pattern), short rows, jogless stripes, and the innovative Turkish cast-on. To support your knitting journey, we provide helpful links to excellent tutorials for each technique used.

200 yards of Color A (black in the sample)
200 yards of Color B (orange in the sample)
180 yards of Color C (white in the sample)
