What you need to know

Follow Val Pierce's knitting pattern to create a rhino character in dungarees.

Val Pierce’s cuddly knitted rhino might look like a rough-and-tumble sort of fellow, but he loves nothing more than snuggling up with a good book. His favourite stories are all about dragons - hence the button on his dungarees. Kenny is a relatively simple knitting project, using basic shaping techniques, making him an ideal choice for beginners or anyone looking to boost their knitting skills with a fun and rewarding toy pattern.
