Summary Part one of Alan Dart’s Farmyard Frolics include the following animals: Horse, Cow, Sheep. It can be found on page 36. Part two contains: Pig, Duck, Hen & Chick.

Parts 1 and 2 are available for download from Alan Dart’s website as a single file, with exclusive pattern for goat included. (Goat not included in Simply Knitting or Irresistible Gifts to Knit.)

Irresistible Gifts to Knit suggests supersizing the animals by using two strands of chunky yarn held together on 8mm needles. Dowels can be used for the legs, or, if the toy is for a child, omit the dowels and stuff very firmly.
