How to Make a Tiny Twiddle
For fiddlers, twiddlers and anyone who needs a special friend. A Tiny Twiddle can be made in an evening
and loved forever.
Equipment
• 4mm knitting needles
• Small amount of DK yarn
• Black yarn for eyes and nose
• Sewing needle
Instructions
Head and Body:
• Cast on 12 stitches
• Knit 12 rows
• Knit 2 stitches, knit 2 stitches together, bring yarn forward, knit to last 5 stitches, knit 2 stitches
together, bring yarn forward and knit to end of row (making simple buttonholes)
• Knit 1 row (to finish buttonhole structures)
• Knit 12 rows- legs next!
Legs:
• (Working on first 6 stitches only, slip remaining 6 stitches onto a stitch holder)
• Knit 6 rows
• Increase into every other stitch (9 stitches)
• Knit 5 rows
• To finish legs break yarn and sew through loops to make feet
• Repeat with remaining 6 stitches to make other leg
Arms:
• Cast on 24 stitches
• Knit 6 rows
• Cast off
To make up:
• Sew arms along long seam using whip stitch and put to one side
• Sew legs up to body (as shown in bottom leg above – this one piece makes the head, body and legs)
• Sew body (seam is at back) up to buttonholes
• Thread arms through the buttonholes and sew ends together
• Secure arms in place by stitching an arm onto each buttonhole
• Lightly stuff body (a plump tummy looks fab!) – leave legs unstuffed
• Continue sewing up to top of head and stuff lightly
• Sew along top of head, making ears by sewing triangles in corners (see diagram below)
• Embroider eyes and nose/mouth using black yarn
