A Day at the Zoo Pals

It’s a colourful day at the zoo, and let me introduce you to, my Tiger, Flamingo and Elephant toys, And Panda with shoot of bamboo! Designed by Amanda Berry @fluffandfuzz, most of the pieces to make these toys are knit in acrylic DK yarns in stockinette on single pointed needles (not in the round). A crochet hook is used to work a single crochet chain for the elephant’s tail. The textured black and white chenille yarn pieces are knit in garter stitch. This pattern incorporates knitted stripes for the Tiger and intarsia colour-work for the Panda’s eyes. For confident beginners and above, other techniques used include casting on and off, knits, purls, increases and decreases, and seaming to finish. The finished toys measure up to 10cm tall.
