Description
Fiona Goble adores sloths so couldn’t resist creating one using lovely tinsel yarn. And it’s great as he’s quick and simple to knit from just a single ball of Tinsel Chunky plus some yarn oddments for the face and eye surrounds.
To knit this gorgeous little fellow you’ll use just a single ball of King Cole Tinsel Chunky in shade Latte 1860 – plus a small amount of standard chunky yarn for the face and paws and a small amount of grey DK yarn for the eye surrounds. 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 sloth is 29cm/11.5in long.
You will need some standard chunky weight yarn in cream for the face and paws, plus a small amount of DK/light worsted weight yarn in grey for the eye surrounds and black for the nose. 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 pair of 3.25mm (US3) knitting needles and a needle to sew your work together.
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.
