Downloadable knitting pattern to knit up a cute Mama kangaroo toy with a removable baby joey snugly tucked in her pocket.
Perfect as a handknitted gift for a new mum and baby, this downloadable pattern is easy to follow, with clear row-by-row instructions along with lots of photographs.
To make these toys you'll just need to be able to cast on and off, knit, purl, and work increasing and decreasing stitches. All the pieces are knitted flat on straight knitting needles so NO knitting in the round is needed. Big kangaroo measures 14 inches (36cm) tall when sitting
You will need: About one and a quarter balls of Wendy Supreme Dk in Gold (WD23) for the kangaroo colour. Alternatively you can use an identical amount of Stylecraft Special Dk in Gold (1709) OR King Cole Big Value Tweed Dk in Amber (3323) which are almost identical colours.
- The dress is knitted from one ball of James C Brett Fairground Dk in colour G14 (you can substitute any other self-striping or plain Dk yarns you like) - The dress pocket is knitted from a small amount of Stylecraft Special Dk in Meadow (1065) (you can substitute any other Dk yarn you like)
You’ll also need: - A pair of long 4mm straight knitting needles (for knitting dress) - A pair of 3mm straight knitting needles (for knitting everything else) - Darning needle - Toy stuffing - Small amount of black Dk yarn for sewing the facial features.
Please note that this is a downloadable knitting pattern and not a kit. Once you’ve placed your order, look out for an email from notonthehighstreet the same day that will allow you to download your knitting pattern so you can get knitting!
