This pattern is for you to create a knitted campervan based on the VW Splitscreen.

What you’ll need to make one:
The campervan is made in Double Knitting Yarn (US sports weight/worsted, AUS 8ply),(I used Wendy Merino DK) and took approximately 175g as follows: 50g green, 50g cream, 50g fawn and 25g grey.
Embroidery cotton to sew on the lights, indicators and to make the logo for the front badge.
2 sheets of Plastic Tapestry Canvas, 7 holes per inch. 13.6” x 22.6”, (34.6cm x 57.5cm). This is used to sandwich between the knitted pieces and provide rigidity.
4mm knitting needles (UK8, US6)
Please note that terms in the pattern are all written UK style.

Tension 22 sts x 32 rows = approximately 10cm/4” using DK yarn and 4mm needles.

Finished Size Approximately 31cm/12” long, 15/6”cm wide and 17cm/6.5” tall
