Page 1 of 10

In the Night Garden - Iggle Piggle (Approx 34cms Tall)

Using Double Knitting Wool and size 3mm (No.11) needles for all knitting. (If you knitloose use a size smaller needles).t is important that when buying the two Blue yarns you get only one shade differencebetween the two.

Wool required: 1 x 100g ball Light Blue1 x 100g ball Darker Blue1 x 100g ball Red (Pillar box)

Plus small amount of white and black.Bag of good quality stuffing.Either a snap fastener or an inch of sew-on Velcro (to attach blanket to hand).

This pattern uses more than one ball of yarn in rows. When using separate balls of yarn

you MUST twist the yarn around it other when changing colours. (This prevents holes infinished knitting). Instead of balls of wool I find it easier to use yarn bobbins.

Abbreviations; K2tog – knit two stitches together.m1 - make one stitch by taking up the yarn lying between

the last stitch and the next stitch and knitting into theback of it.

B & T Tightly - break yarn leaving a long end. Thread through sts onNeedle, draw up tightly and fasten off
