In the Jungle
These cute Monkey and Koala characters are quick and easy to knit.
The head and body are knitted in a single piece, as are the arms and legs which loop around the wooden teether ring.
Knitted flat and seamed they can be made in an evening.
Cotton yarn is used as this washes well and does not shed fiber if it is chewed on!
Perfect for new baby, or baby shower gifts.
You can easily add a baby safe rattle inside the body when stuffing the teethers.
The wooden ring is perfect for little ones to chew on.
(short wash cycle or hand wash due to the wooden ring- perfectly safe to use in any baby’s sterilizer though)
Suitable for intermediate or confident beginners.
