This delightful toy is perfect for little ones who love things with wheels. Play with the van by itself, or hook on the trailer for a
longer adventure. Go for a drive without leaving the house!

Van and trailer are worked starting with the bottom which is knit flat. Stitches are cast on and the rest is worked in the round and finished with grafting. Short rows are used along the hood and tops. Wheels are worked in the round, stuffed before finishing, and sewn on. Windows, bumpers and grill are worked flat and sewn on. Lights are added with duplicate stitch.

Please note: One skein of C4 (Swan) is just enough to finish the trailer, it may be a good idea to get an extra skein just in case. Small amounts of C5 (Fiesta Red), C6 (Crème Brulee) and C7 (Blue) are used—leftover yarn should be enough.
