Two Easter Waldorf Roosters

Explore this delightful knitting pattern for an Easter decoration that will enhance your seasonal table and serve as charming home decor. This playful knitted toy, featuring an adorable rooster, is the perfect way to add a festive touch to your celebrations.

You can create two sizes in this pattern: the finished white rooster stands approximately 7.87 inches (20 cm) tall, while the finished cream rooster measures around 5.91 inches (15 cm) tall. These charming roosters not only make excellent Easter decorations but also serve as lovely gifts or whimsical additions to your home.

To get started on this knitting project, gather the following materials:

• 4 double-pointed needles in a size suitable for the yarn weight you are using. It is recommended to use needles one or two sizes smaller than the yarn label suggests in order to produce a firm, durable fabric. For this project, I utilized needles size 2 (3mm).
• Dark red, burgundy, cream, and white colored acrylic yarn from the "Flora" line by Kartopu, which offers approximately 230 meters of material per 100 grams.
• Toy stuffing for added fun and fluffiness.
• Plastic safety eyes or 4 buttons for charming eyes.
• A yarn needle for seamless stitching.
• A stitch holder to keep your work organized.

This pattern not only provides a wonderful crafting experience but also results in a beautiful knitted rooster that symbolizes joy and renewal during the Easter season. Enjoy the process of knitting this unique design, and watch as your home transforms with this lovely seasonal accent!
