Made from a vintage ‘Alan Dart’ pattern - originally published in a ‘Womans’ Weekly’ magazine as a lift-out pattern booklet called ‘Knitted Tales of Beatrix Potter’ - Sept 1994.

I am not able to freely share this pattern as it is still under copyright.

From www.alandart.co.uk ;

“Please note that patterns of licensed characters are not available for downloading. For legal reasons, these could only appear once, either in a magazine feature or as a pattern leaflet, and since they are out of print and the licenses have expired these patterns are unavailable, so the only way you will now be able to obtain these licensed character patterns is if you can find original leaflets or magazine tear sheets being offered for sale. Please do not buy duplicated versions of these patterns because this is illegal, and they not only infringe Alan’s copyright but also violate the rights of the creators of the characters in question”.

Sadly, for copyright reasons, the Peter Rabbit knitting collection pattern is no longer available unless you’re able to find a copy on eBay or Etsy (worth watching, they do pop up from time to time).

For my Peter;

I added a collar and little wooden buttons to Peter’s jacket - the modern movie version wears more of a denim jacket than a cardigan.

I also inserted plastic from the lid of an ice-cream container - cut to shape - into the bottom of the feet and plastic pellets - sewn into a cotton covering - into the base of the body to give Peter some weight and to help him stand firmly on his own.

In the pattern picture, Peter is holding two pink radishes….I used orange - he is now munching on carrots instead!

His nose is a little flocked safety nose.
