Is Dora suitable for beginners?
Yes. She is simply knitted flat, on 4mm knitting needles, making her a good project for a beginner who knows the basics of knitting: no need to knit in the round. You’ll need to know how to make loop stitch, see below, which makes her slightly more complex than some of my other designs.
Basic knitting skills that you’ll need to know:
Stocking stitch, increasing by knitting into the front and back of a stitch (inc 1) and decreasing by knitting 2 stitches together (k2tog). You’ll need to know how to make loop stitch - check out my loop stitch tutorial to learn how!
All kit and parcel packaging is plastic-free, and recyclable.
The gift box measures 28cm x 19cm x 8cm.
Dora the Dodo is 20cm tall.
