Hayley the Land Girl WW2 Knitting Pattern is a design for creating a knitted toy that represents a woman who worked on farms during the Second World War. These women, known as Land Girls, played a crucial role in boosting agricultural production while many men were away fighting. The pattern allows you to knit a figure dressed in the typical uniform of the Women’s Land Army, including overalls and a headscarf.

These knitting patterns appeal to children because they bring history to life through play. By holding and interacting with a knitted Land Girl, children can imagine and learn about an important period in history in a tactile and engaging way. It’s a special kind of toy that combines fun with a history lesson.

Hayley the Land Girl represents strength, courage, and the significant contribution of women during war times. It’s a tribute to the resilience and hard work of the Land Girls. We love them because they embody a powerful story of determination and are a reminder of the role women played in history.

You might want to knit one because it’s a meaningful project. It connects you to history through crafting and offers a way to share that history with others, especially children. Knitting Hayley the Land Girl can also be a heartfelt gesture of remembrance and respect for those who contributed to the war effort on the home front.

On 8th May 2020, it will be 75 years exactly since Victory in Europe was declared. It was a time of celebration but also a time to reflect on the sacrifice and courage that millions of people had shown during World War 2. As the anniversary approaches, we reflect again on the great sacrifice everyone made during our darkest days. On the 8th May 1945, millions of people took to the streets to show their relief at the end of many years of war.

This is an opportunity for knitters to come together and mark the 75th anniversary with this series of knitted toys that can be displayed and gifted during the commemorations.

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.
