I’ve been looking for a good pattern, and I was just curious if I could get some input from others. I like knitting fun things like toys, and things that are different. Any tips would be great!

I have a book called World of Knitted Toys, by Kath Dalmeny. Most of the toys are knitted with sport-weight yarn over size 3 needles. It includes patterns for gorillas, kangaroos, snakes, koalas, wolves, and pigs, among others. The chapters are arranged by themes and they also include a doll (like a Canadian mountie) that goes with each one. Most of them are beginner or intermediate level patterns.

knittingpatterncentral.com also has some free patterns for toys and other things.

Enjoy!

  I second World Of Knitted Toys. Great book, and really, if you are at least an intermediate knitter, they are really quite easy.
