Zara the Zebra

Zara the Zebra is ready for a colourful day on safari. The black and white chenille yarns create a soft, plush toy with distinct stripes, and DK weight yarns make their bright colour-block outfit. Zara is knit mostly in garter stitch and stockinette, and their sweater is removable. You can choose whether or not to embroider the heart on the front of the sweater, which is added using Swiss darning. Designed by Amanda Berry @fluffandfuzz, the toys are knitted on single pointed needles (not in the round). Zara stands at 31cm tall including ears. For confident beginners and above, other techniques used include casting on and off, knits, purls, increases and decreases, knitting stripes, Swiss darning and seaming to finish.
