A burglar doll is a toy that represents a character often seen in stories or movies, usually someone who sneaks around and takes things that don’t belong to them. Despite their role, these dolls are designed in a playful and non-threatening way.

Children are drawn to burglar dolls because they embody characters that are both mischievous and adventurous. These dolls can spark imaginative play, where kids create stories of chase and adventure, exploring themes of right and wrong in a safe and playful context.

Burglar dolls are special because they tap into the excitement of the chase and the thrill of a caper, but in a way that’s safe and fun for kids. They often wear masks or have sneaky expressions, adding to their appeal.

These dolls can represent the thrill of adventure and the excitement of the unknown. They allow children to explore complex ideas, like justice and redemption, in a straightforward and manageable way.

We love them because they fuel our imagination and bring a sense of excitement and adventure to playtime. They remind us of the joy of storytelling and the fun of adopting different roles through play.

Knitting a burglar doll can be a rewarding project because it allows for creative expression. You can choose how your character looks, from their outfit to their expressions. Knitting one offers a way to create a unique toy that can spark imaginative play or add a quirky touch to your collection.

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.

How Do I Attach a Head to a Knitted Toy ?

The article gives help to avoid wobbly knitted heads and makes them secure for children to use.

How Do I Get Perfect Toy Eyes?

Here is a guide to guide to sewing eyes securely to your finished toy

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.
