Child friendly Nutcracker Christmas Soldier

8 page pattern with photo’s for your reference. Worked flat on 2 needles, 8.5” from head to foot.

Gauge isn’t important as with any toys the knit has to be tight so that the stuffing doesn’t show through.

I do allow the finished products from my patterns for charity or by hobby sellers please ensure designer details are also included.
