This knitted army tank is really easy to knit and is so versatile. It makes a fabulous toy for a little one, but it’s also great in displays for Armed Forces Day, Remembrance Sunday and so on, as well as charity fundraising or post box toppers. It measures approximately 7” in all directions and can be made to look even better with the addition of various accessories. You could embroider wheels, or add large, black press studs as wheels. You could also add stars, flags, numbers or words to really put your own stamp on the finished tank.
