FRUIT DROP is the sweetest little knitted elephant. He measures approximately 15cm (6in) high so only uses small amounts of yarn.

FRUIT DROP is one of eight cute ‘Candy Cousins’. In the collection there are four girls (cat, rabbit, pig and panda) and four boys (dog, elephant, frog and bull).

TWO STRAIGHT NEEDLES - All knitting is done on a pair of 3.25mm needles (US size 3).

YARN - double knitting (DK) yarn. (USA - light worsted, Australia - 8 ply).

EYES - 8 mm or 9 mm safety eyes have been used but are not essential as eyes can be embroidered using black yarn or embroidery floss.

BASIC KNITTING SKILLS REQUIRED - Cast on, cast off (bind off), knit, purl, k2tog (knit 2 stitches together), kfb (knit front and back of stitch to increase).

PATTERN is easy to follow with lots of coloured pictures to assist with every stage of your toy making. All pattern rows are numbered.
