| Job type | Test knit |
| Description | This pattern is for chunky "bubble writing" letters which can be propped on a shelf or mantelpiece, or threaded with a ribbon or string to hang them up. A lovely baby gift, wedding sign, home decoration or party banner.
Each letter is composed of an identical front and back, which are then sewn together around the edges and stuffed to form a delightfully squishy, tactile "bubble" letter.
This is a highly customisable pattern. Make your letters huge by knitting them in super-bulky yarn, or tiny in lace weight. Vary the colours and patterns, use different stitches – the possibilities are endless!
Some letters are simpler than others, but once you get the idea of how the patterns work you can usually get one side knitted in around 40-60 minutes – around the length of a TV drama! |
