Description
ROBOTS TOY KNITTING PATTERNS
A pair of busy robots, always ready to lend a helping hand. The big robot has a back pocket for stashing secrets or spare fuel packs, and a concealed front panel with buttons. Both robots have an aerial which can be used as a handle for carrying around.
TECHNIQUES: All pieces are knitted flat (back and forth) on a pair of straight knitting needles, apart from the aerials/handles which are i-cord tubes knitted on two DPNs. You will need to cast on and off, knit, purl, work basic increases and decreases, change colour at the end of a row (knit stripes), knit i-cord and sew seams. The eye panels are embroidered onto the robots after knitting using Swiss darning (or duplicate stitch) embroidery.
FINISHED SIZE: The big robot is 37cm tall and the small robot is 22cm tall (including the handles).
Materials you need at home:
- A pair of straight 3.5mm knitting needles (US 4)
- Two 3.5mm DPNs (US 4) to make the handles
- DK weight yarns (light worsted weight) in blue, grey and yellow
- Toy filling
- Buttons to decorate
