Prepare for take off! At 10cm long, this Dinky Plane is the perfect size for little hands to play with, or you could knit a fleet of planes and hang them on a mobile for baby’s crib. Designed by Amanda Berry @fluffandfuzz, the plane is knitted in acrylic DK yarns on single pointed needles (not in the round). This pattern incorporates Kitchener stitch grafting and Swiss darning (duplicate stitch). For confident beginners and above, techniques used include casting on and off, knits, purls, increases and decreases, knitting stripes, and seaming to finish.
Contains:
- Instructions for making the plane with photos.
- A materials list and recommended yarns.
- The pattern is 3 pages and written in English.
- Measurements are in metric.
Materials you need at home:
- A pair of straight 3.25mm knitting needles (US 3)
- DK yarn (double knitting or light worsted weight)
