Knitting: Animal Toy
A small teddy bear, only 6.5” tall with no sewn seams. A perfect baby gift as there’s no way to chew those ears off in one piece and it only uses half a ball of Dk yarn, so good for stash busting.

A whole family of cuddly hedgehogs in one pattern. The baby hedgehog is 3.25” tall, the Mummy hedgehog is 4.5” tall and the big Daddy hedgehog is 5.5” tall. These cute little guys are far from prickly and they can sit upright to gaze at the stars or lean forward to snuffle around.

A tiny mouse (only 2.75” tall) who can sit in the palm of your hand, or on your desk, or in a Christmas stocking or carry a little sign with a message for someone special. The pattern only uses 30 yards of sock yarn, which makes it a great stash buster.

Crows are very clever birds, which may explain why they are so interesting and a bit frightening. This crow doesn’t look so smart and at only 6” tall he doesn’t seem too menacing either. Nevertheless, he would make a great Halloween decoration or a gift for a bird loving kid.

This pattern was created for my (then) 4 year old. “Mom, can you knit me a shark?” Who can resist a design brief like that?
