Kimmy the Koala

Kimmy is a tubby koala, sewn in the sitting position; he measures 15 inches/39 cms approximately.  His tummy measures 18 inches/46 cms.  He has elbows and thumbs. I promise these are very easy to create, I use increases and decreases, not short rows.

He can be knitted with any worsted weight/Aran yarns.  I have tried eyelash, boa, fleecy yarns such as Snowflake and Pipsqueak, Phildar Phil Douce or soft chenille.

This pattern includes a detailed step-by-step guide; full of photos and tips to help you assemble your koala.  Print warning:  It may be best to print just the knitting directions and save the step-by-step guide to refer to as and when necessary on screen or it will drink your printer ink and eat your paper!!

For increases I use knitting into the same stitch twice, front and back.
