Are you a knitter and a Scouter?

Combine your two hobbies with this mini-me knitting digital pattern!

Create your own custom Scouter or Guider that can then be attached to your necker or uniform and worn with pride.

This digital pattern includes photographs and detailed steps to create your own custom knitted project, plus a full video tutorial for creating the necker. You can make either Scouting members or Guider members with short or long hair.

As this is a small scale knit, it is more suitable for intermediate knitters. The Scouter is knitted flat and then sewn up. There is the option to create the arms using either a flat knit pattern or i-cord. The necker is constructed using a simple friendship bracelet knotting technique (full video instructions provided). There is a lot of sewing involved in this design to attach all the pieces and add all of the smaller details.
