Product Description
This pattern is a continuation of the Comfort Critters, which has proved to be very popular. You can use either double knit/light weight worsted/8ply, use needle size 2.5mm or Aran/worsted weight/10ply, needle size 3mm. The double knit critter works out to be approximately 6.5 inches/16 cms tall and the Aran weight is approximately 7.5 inches/19 cms. You could also experiment with textured yarns such as King Cole Truffle or Peter Pan Precious as I have done with the kitten. I used the 3mm needles without any problems.
The package contains: Kitten; Puppy; Raccoon; Mouse; and Zebra
All the feet/legs/bodies and arms are the same directions, it’s just the heads, ears and tails that vary. I have written up the zebra in full because of the yarn changes on the stripes but all the other critters follow the same basic directions for the feet/legs/body and arms.
Detailed making up guide is included with lots of photos to help.

Comfort Critters Series II Knitted Toys by Pat Alinejad
What Is Being Made
Comfort Critters Series II is a collection of knitted toy designs created by designer Pat Alinejad. These are small, stuffed knitted animals featuring interchangeable body components. The pattern provides instructions for creating complete toy critters with customizable parts including bodies, heads, ears, tails, legs, feet, and arms that can be mixed and matched to design different creatures.
Craft and Technique Overview
This is a knitting project designed for beginner-level crafters. The toys are constructed using straightforward knitting techniques suitable for those new to the craft. The modular design approach—where feet, legs, body, and arms follow the same pattern structure while heads, ears, and tails vary—makes this an excellent introduction to toy knitting and pattern customization.
Yarn Weight and Material Options
The pattern accommodates two different yarn weight options:
- Double Knit/Lightweight Worsted option: Main yarn body requires 50 grams/137 yards, with 10 grams/30 yards of contrasting yarn for accents
- Aran/Worsted weight option: Main yarn body requires 50 grams/93 yards, with 10 grams/20 yards of contrasting yarn for accents
This flexibility allows crafters to choose their preferred yarn weight based on desired finished toy size and available materials.
Tools and Notions Required
The pattern specifies different needle sizes depending on yarn weight selection:
- For Double Knit/Lightweight Worsted: 2.5mm/1US straight knitting needles
- For Aran/Worsted weight: 3mm/3US straight knitting needles
Additional materials include safety toy stuffing for filling the completed critters, a yarn sewing needle for assembly and finishing, and optional embellishments: either black or brown embroidery thread/floss for hand-stitched facial features, or 9mm toy safety eyes (for Double Knit) or 10mm toy safety eyes (for Aran weight) for a more finished appearance.
Construction and Assembly
The pattern includes comprehensive making-up instructions for assembling the individual knitted pieces into complete toys. The modular component system—with standardized patterns for feet, legs, body, and arms paired with variable head, ear, and tail designs—enables crafters to create multiple different critter variations from a single pattern set.

Bought a little witches pattern to knit for the grandsons for Halloween! Already made 2! I try and make something new each year! Great way to use up oddments of wool.
This is a follow on pattern to Critters series 1 which I had already purchased and used. I love Pat's patterns as they are very good value for money, very comprehensive and easy to follow - even for a novice knitter.
