My chubby little “Surf’s Up” camper van is sure to delight retro fans and surfers. The van is 11.5 cm tall and 13 cm long. All pieces are knitted flat (back and forth) on a pair of straight single-pointed knitting needles. There is no tricky colour-work to master here, if you can change colour at the end of a row to knit stripes then you can make a camper. The camper van pieces are knitted in stockinette stitch and sewn together. The white window struts are added using duplicate stitch embroidery. You will also need to cast on and off, knit, purl, work increases and decreases, and sew seams.
Contains:
- Instructions for making the camper van and surfboard and photos
- A materials list and recommended yarns.
- The pattern is 4 pages and written in English.
- Measurements are in metric.
