Fancy a wee nibble of knitting mischief? This free pattern lets you stitch up your very own haggis; no neeps or tatties required.

Inspired by the mythical beastie said to roam the Highlands (with legs longer on one side for hill-climbing, naturally), this pint-sized project is perfect for stash busting and spreading a bit of Scottish cheer.

The haggis is knitted flat and assembled with a dash of character: a long nose, a tartan tam-o-shanter, and a look that says “I’ve just escaped Burns Night and I’m not going back.” Whether you’re gifting it, posting it, or popping it in a display, it’s a quick knit with a big personality.

So if your needles are twitching for something light-hearted, woolly, and just a wee bit bonkers, this haggis is ready to roll. Download the free pattern, grab your DK yarn, and let the Highland hijinks begin. It’s the only haggis you’ll ever knit that doesn’t need boiling for three hours.
