Benjy and Bo are cheeky little scamps, they are always ready for fun and games!

Benjy loves his dungarees and usually wears his cap backwards for extra mischief. Bo prefers shorts and a t-shirt, and tries to wear his cap the right way around, though it always ends up a bit crooked!

Both Benjy and Bo are knitted flat from the top down, using simple shaping throughout, making them approachable for a wide range of knitters.
This pattern is perfect for new knitters looking for a fun, manageable challenge.

Placement stitches are included to take the guesswork out of positioning the eyes.
You’ll also find instructions for embroidered eyes as an alternative to safety eyes
