Free Stuffed Animal Knitting Patterns
I'm almost afraid to utter the words but it turns out that Christmas is only 46 days away. How crazy is that?
This year I'm thinking of knitting a bunch of stuffed animals as gifts . . . even for the adults in my life. So I've been collecting a list of patterns, and though you might like to have the list yourself!
First up is the adorable Kiwi bird from the latest Knitty:
He is just so cute! I already know who this one will be going to, believe me.
Next is another bird, but of a totally different species/variety:
Its an Angry Birds bird! The details on this pattern are so impressive, I kinda want to knit it just to see how she did it. Great job knitterbees!
If you're not into birds, you can always knit up a lobster:
Or maybe just some lobster claws? I love this knit lobster pattern from Dirigo, and the styling of the photo is wonderful too!
As I go through my list, I am realizing that I am on a bird kick . . . the next one is yet another, completely different, bird:
I totally love this Flamingo from Spud & Chloe, it has so much personality. And of course it doesn't hurt that it's pink, which is my favorite color. I may just knit this one for myself . . .
Next up, finally, is an animal other than a bird:
I think the Elefante pattern is intended for babies, but knit in different colors it would be more grown up. I love that his snout functions as a 5th leg!
Next up, a snake:
I particularly love the braided snake's tongue on this stuffed snake (Ravelry link)! It would make a great present for a Slytherin fan if you knit it in green and grey stripes.
If you'd rather go the traditional stuffed animal route, you can't go wrong with this classic teddy bear:
The Ruby Bear Pattern is very cute, especially how the sample is knit up to look like a strawberry. And the classic button connections on the arms and legs give this pattern an old-time charm.
That's the end of my list, but there are plenty of other free stuffed animal patterns available. Here's a Ravelry search to get you started finding more!
