Teeny Animal Knits

These little toy animals are quick to knit, and are a super way to use up odds and ends in your yarn stash. Make them for keychains, brooches, pendants, or even wear them as rings. Included in the patterns are instructions to make the bee, mouse, turtle, ladybird, robin and hedgehog. Designed by Amanda Berry @fluffandfuzz, the toys are knitted in acrylic DK yarns on single pointed needles (not in the round), and the mouse’s tail is an i-cord tube worked on two DPNs. For confident beginners and above, other techniques used include casting on and off, knits, purls, increases and decreases, knitting stripes, and seaming to finish.
