Billy no mates

Billy has no mates – will you be his mate???

Sitting 3.5 inches high, this funny little chap, will I am sure, be a topic of curiosity and conversation to all that see him.

He is a really quick, simple knit and made flat using a mere scrap of DK or equivalent yarns on 3mm needles.

The pattern is clearly written with pictures to help you along the way.

If you made him in a yarn of clay colour, and added a little nose, he would make a great Morph from the children’s series of times gone by.

Materials needed DK/8ply/11 wpi in a colour of your choice – approximately 10 grams A pair of straight 3mm/US3/UK 11 needles (used throughout) Pair of tweezers (to inserting stuffing) Large eyed needle for sewing up Large head pins Fibrefill

Abbreviations used K = Knit P = Purl St/sts = stitch/stitches Ss = stocking stitch (knit one row – purl one row) Tog – knit/purl the next 2 sts together (decrease) Inc1 = knit into the FRONT and the BACK of the next stitch
