Knitosaurus - english

This is a digital product. A PDF-file will be sent to your email. 

Knitosaurus is knitted with Sandnes Garn Kos, and comes in two sizes. If you knit Knitosaurus with double thread on needle size US 8 (UK 6) you will get a chunky and larger teddy, whereas if you knit with single thread kos on needle size US 3 (UK 11) you will get a smaller version that works well with play.

This is a pattern that can be combined with many other yarn alternatives, and you can easily change the original yarn with a yarn that has about the same gauge. The good thing about knitting teddies is that the gauge doesn’t necessarily matter. The most important thing is that the stitches are tight enough, so the fill doesn’t fall out. Try with the scrap yarn you have left over from other projects!

I recommend knitting with the technique «Magic Loop» as the pattern is adapted to this method.
