This character forms part of my ‘Knitted History’ series. The classic Victorian ‘Bobby’ is resplendent in his stovepipe topper and his distinctive jacket with short tails.

He is quick and simple to knit, and great for using scraps of yarn.

As we as the yarn you will need the following:

3mm needles
3mm double-pointed needles
safety eyes (or thread for embroidering the eyes)
stuffing
embroidery needle.
