Thank you for your interest in my Machine Knit Troll pattern! These Trolls are a blast to make because there’s no “right way” to do it. Each time you recreate this pattern, you can add different decorative pieces, resulting in unique and personality-filled Trolls every time. They’re one of my favorite things to make, and everyone loves them!

The pattern begins with instructions on how to knit the base body of your Troll. The last few pages offer examples of various “decorations” you can add to personalize your creation—things like different styles of horns, eyes, spots, hair, and more. When you get to the decoration part, feel free to pick and choose what you like or get creative and come up with your own ideas. The possibilities are endless!
