Description
Quick and simple to knit – and utterly adorable! This cheeky chap is knitted from just a single ball of Tinsel Chunky plus some yarn oddments for the face – who could resist this little fellow.
This gorgeous creature is knitted using just a single ball of King Cole Tinsel Chunky in shade Orangutan (yes really!) 1991. You’ll also need a small amount of standard chunky yarn in beige and light brown for the face and hands/feet. Yarns available from almost all yarn shops.
The pattern includes tips on knitting with Tinsel yarn and how to ‘yarn joint’ your toy.
The finished orangutan is 31cm/12.25in long.
You will need some standard chunky weight yarn in light brown and beige for the face and hands/feet. Plus you’ll need a small amount of DK/light worsted weight yarn in black for the mouth and nostrils. You will also need a pair of 10mm black plastic toy eyes and 40-50g (less than 2oz) polyester toy filling and a pair of 5mm (US8) knitting needles, a needle to sew your work together and a couple of large safety pins or small stitch holders.
The pattern is suitable for adventurous beginners upwards. You need to know the basics (casting on, casting/binding off, knitting and purling). You also need to know how to increase and decrease.
Note: the finished item is not suitable for children under three years of age.
As it’s an instant download you can get started straight away.
Redistribution of the pattern itself in any way is strictly prohibited
