This gang of easy to knit farmyard friends would make lovely gifts. The trio includes a cuddly plump Yorkshire pig, a sheep and cow friends. They are knitted in acrylic DK yarns so that they are all easy to keep clean with play, and worked in stockinette and moss stitch. You could even knit these in a chunky yarn on larger needles to make a set of adorable cuddly cushions.

Designed by Amanda Berry @fluffandfuzz, the toys are knitted in on single pointed needles (not in the round), although the pig and cow tails are i-cord tubes worked on two DPNs.
