Meet Kanga!
The kangaroo from A A Milne’s Winnie the Pooh stories and inspired by Ernest Shepard’s illustrations.

Here’s a little more about my Kanga:

  • knitted flat with minimal seams
  • the limbs are knitted as i-cords and there are directions for both dpn i-cord and single point needle i-cord
  • I’ve used 7mm black toy safety eyes for this - all the ingredients are written within the pattern with links to yarn and eyes
  • yarn-wise I’ve suggested Cardiff Cashmere Large but you can, of course, use your own choice of yarn
