A cowboy is a figure often seen in movies and books, known for herding cattle on ranches in the American West. They are recognized by their distinctive hats, boots, and sometimes a lasso or a horse.

Cowboys appeal to children because they represent adventure, bravery, and the excitement of exploring the wild. Their way of life, close to nature and animals, and their image as heroes of the frontier spark children’s imaginations, making them popular characters in stories and play.

Cowboys are special because they embody the spirit of freedom and the rugged outdoors. They symbolize a connection to animals, nature, and the history of exploration and settlement. This sense of adventure and exploration is why many of us are drawn to them.

Knitting a cowboy can be a way to bring this adventurous spirit into a child’s playtime. By creating a cowboy toy, you can choose the colours and features that match the imagination of its future owner, making it a unique and personalised gift. Knitting a cowboy offers a creative way to share stories of adventure and bravery, making the toy not just a plaything but a companion for imaginative journeys.

Pattern Instructions and Help

What About Knitting Needles?

We use either 3mm(UK 11, US 3) needles with Double Knitting yarn.If you use chunky / bulky then 4.5mm single pointed knitting needles(UK 7, US 7) are what we use.

Is That Right? It Seems Too Small?

If you look at a ball band or have knitted garments before, you will know the recommended size is for larger needles.We do this so when you knit the pieces the knitting stays dense and the toy stuffing doesn't show through.

The article gives help to avoid wobbly knitted heads and makes them secure for children to use. How Do I Attach a Head to a Knitted Toy ?

Here is a guide to guide to sewing eyes securely to your finished toy. How Do I Get Perfect Toy Eyes?

Using Your Pattern

Do You Sell Yarn, Needles or Haberdashery?

All we do is create gorgeous toy knitting patterns.We don't sell anything else.This makes us specialists at what we do.

This also means that you are free to buy your haberdashery from your local yarn shop or any other place that you like.

Do I Need To Go And Buy More Yarn?

No. (Well, not unless you want to!) Just use up some of your stash. The patterns don't use any brand in particular. If you keep the yarn a consistent thickness for all colours and you can pretty much use what you want.

We tend to use acrylic yarn for our toys as the thickness is consistent and colours are vibrant.

We only use 2 thicknesses of yarn for all patterns. Either Double Knitting (Light Worsted, 8ply, No.3, Approx 300m/100g) or Chunky (Bulky, 16ply, No.5, Approx 150m/100g) See the listing to see which one we used.

You know that you will be able to use the pattern in future too when your stash changes. Don't be afraid to experiment with fancy yarns and thicknesses.
