He's hopped over to tell you that he loves to sit in your hand for a cuddle, and would really like to find a new home.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAlan is 17cm \/6.5 inches tall – just the right size to cuddle in your hand. He's knitted using DK acrylic yarn (I used Stylecraft Special DK - details are given in the pattern, but you can use any oddments of DK yarn from your stash).\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIs Alan easy to knit?\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eYes he is! Alan is knitted flat on a pair of 4mm (UK 8\/ US 6) knitting needles, making him a great project for a beginner: no need to knit in the round. Basic skills that you need to know: stocking stitch, increasing by knitting into the front and back of a stitch (inc 1) and decreasing by knitting 2 stitches together (k2tog). The knitting pattern includes detailed making up instructions and colour photos to help you on your way.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eYou'll also need a 3.5mm crochet hook to attach Alan's eyebrows - no crochet skills required.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"LoveCrafts","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56736966181242,"sku":"UPID140553","price":6.76,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0931\/3219\/4170\/files\/87dd669177dd0e10f1264536bce053efa3a3d5db_UPID140553_172865109264184.jpg?v=1775755971","url":"https:\/\/www.lovecrafts.com\/en-au\/products\/alan-the-rockhopper-penguin-knitting-pattern-by-nicky-stewart","provider":"LoveCrafts","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
