This knitted truck has a trailer on the back to store toys, or perhaps some candy and treats. Designed by Amanda Berry @fluffandfuzz, the truck is knitted in garter stitch in acrylic DK yarns on single pointed needles (not in the round). For this pattern you will need to be comfortable with short row shaping (i.e. turning the work in the middle of a row), and crochet single chains for the window struts. For intermediate knitters and above, other techniques used include casting on and off, knits, increases and decreases, knitting stripes, and seaming to finish.
Contains:
- Instructions for making the truck and photos.
- A materials list and recommended yarns.
- The pattern is 6 pages and written in English.
Materials you need at home:
- A pair of straight 3.5mm knitting needles (US 4)
- DK yarn (double knitting or light worsted weight)
- Toy filling
- Buttons for headlights
- A 3.5mm crochet hook
