Product Description
Knit a big mama kangaroo toy with her removable baby Roo snugly stashed in her dress pocket.
Made from any Dk yarn you have in your stash, this is a lovely weekend project- you’ll need to be able to cast on and off, knit, purl and work increasing and decreasing stitches to knit these toys. Knitted flat on straight needles there is no working in the round needed for this pattern.
The big kangaroo’s dress is worked in a colourful self-striping Dk yarn so there’s no colour changes to make it as the yarn does all the hard work for you.
Suggested yarns for this pattern: We used one and a quarter balls of Wendy Supreme Dk in Gold (WD23) for the kangaroo colour. Alternatively you can use an identical amount of Stylecraft Special Dk in Gold (1709) OR King Cole Big Value TweedDk in Amber (3323) which are almost identical colours.
Dress knitted from one ball of James C Brett Fairground Dk in colour G14
The dress pocket is knitted from a small amount of Stylecraft Special Dk in Meadow (1065)
