Woodland Tales Animal Mobile

These cheery woodland animals make a fun crib mobile, and include a squirrel, racoon, fox, hedgehog, toadstool, acorn and leaves. This pattern incorporates intarsia colour-work, and the squirrel uses a loop stitch. You will also need to cast on and off, knit, purl, work increases and decreases, and sew seams. All pieces are worked flat (back and forth) on the single pointed knitting needles, not in the round. The mobile is suspended on single crochet chains worked on the crochet hook. Designed by Amanda Berry @fluffandfuzz, the toys are knitted in acrylic 4 ply yarns, although you can use DK (double knitting/light worsted) if you prefer. **NEEDLES** A pair of 3.25mm single pointed knitting needles (US 3). **RECOMMENDED YARN** Patons Fairytale Fab 4 Ply; sport/fingering weight; 100% acrylic; one 50g skein in each colour.
 **NOTIONS** Tapestry needle, toy filling, a 3.5mm crochet hook, toy safety eyes, and a 6 inch embroidery hoop to make the mobile. **SIZES** One size only - The fox, squirrel and racoon are 13cm tall, the hedgehog is 8cm long, and the toadstool is 7cm tall. **TECHNIQUES** For confident beginners and above, other techniques used include casting on and off, knits, purls, increases and decreases, and seaming to finish. **PATTERN INFO** This knitting pattern is a pdf download, 10 pages, and written in English.
