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.

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.
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.
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.
Hoodies
Here is a happy pig, showing off in his boots and jacket. This knitting pattern is available as a download or printed pattern leaflet.
Donkey
Donkey is happily sat here quietly waiting for you. He needs to be knitted so he can give you lots of love.
Sheep and knitting go together like strawberries and cream. Knit this super sheep soft toy. He is super cool with his hoodie on.
Here is Grace the elephant, she is in her hoodie. I herd you were up to the tusk, it is no mammoth task to knit her!
Here is a modern take on a fantasy character. Skylar the Unicorn has a hoodie and curly mane. She is a pretty addition to any toy collection. She is great for older children as well as younger ones too.
