All patterns are written for Double Knitting (DK) yarn, but any consistent yarn type will work.
We recommend acrylic yarn for durability and bright colours.

We sell patterns only, so you can choose any brand of needles or haberdashery.

Yes – you may sell your finished toys at craft fairs or online if you credit Knitting by Post as the designer.
