Moomin Troll
This lovable Moomin Troll is knitted flat, seamed and then stuffed
Row by row instructions are given for each piece required and there’s a step by step guide on how to put them all together
The approximate finished size: 30cm x 22cm
You may use the suggested yarn or any DK yarn you have in your stash
Gauge:
Not important, but do ensure to knit tight enough so that the stuffing does not show through on the body and the arms
Materials required:
2.75mm knitting needles, darning needle, toy stuffing (100gms) and coloured yarn
Yarn:
60gm James C Brett Top Value DK 8428 White
5gm James C Brett Top Value DK 8430 Black
Knitting skills required:
K: Knit
P: Purl
K2tog: Knit 2 stitches together
K3tog: Knit 3 stitches together
Kfb: Knit the stitch, but before taking the stitch off the needle, insert tip of working needle into the backside of the loop and knit that stitch too.
(K1,P1,K1) into the cast on stitch: Insert your working needle into the cast on stitch and knit one stitch, but leave it on the main needle. Now bring the working yarn to the front and purl into the same stitch, but leave it on the main needle. Now bring the working yarn to the back and knit into the same stitch, this time pulling it off the main needle. You will now have 3 stitches on the needle.
Sewing skills required:
Mattress stitch
Running stitch
Over stitch
I would say that this pattern is suitable for an intermediate/experienced knitter
Happy Knitting!
