Introducing Buzz and Zoff; Buzz the adventurous astronaut has a close encounter with Zoff the alien. Buzz is 17 cm tall and Zoff is 6 cm tall. All pieces are knitted flat (back and forth) on a pair of straight single-pointed knitting needles. The astronaut pattern incorporates intarsia colour-work to make the helmet. The blue stripes on the astronaut’s suit are added after knitting using Swiss Darning (or duplicate stitch) embroidery. You will also need to cast on and off, knit, purl, work increases and decreases, and sew seams.
