Top Knit Tips

Make Billy your very own by customising his hair and skin colours – then show him off on the LKT Facebook group. Don’t forget to give him some clothes first!

Getting your gauge spot-on isn’t as vital for toys as it is for fitted garments, as long as all the yarns used knit to the same, even tension. You can therefore swap to any other coloured DK and the pattern should work just as well.
