Furby Knitting Pattern

For DK yarn and size 4 needles, if using thicker yarn (and you don’t want a massive furb) reduce stitch numbers by roughlyfive for every size increase. This pattern uses stocking stitch, but that can be substituted for your preferred stitch style, and I recommend a video tutorial for loop stitches if you’re unfamiliar with them.

K2tog: Knit two together

p2tog: Purl two together

St st: Stocking stitch

K: Knit

*-*: Repeat till end of row

Mk1: Make one

Body:

Cast on 30 stitches. (Reduction example: 25 if using aran or 4.5mm needles)

Work in St St for 2 inches, or as long as you want.

On a knit row, cast on another 10 stitches at the edge. (8 if using aran or 4.5mm needles)

Work in st st for 4 rows.

Begin shaping the head:

Row 1: K1, *k2 tog, k5*

Row 2: Purl

Row 3: K1, *k2tog, k4*

Row 4: Purl

Row 5: K1, *k2tog, k3*

Row 6: Purl

Row 7: K1, *k2tog, k2*

Row 8: Purl

Row 9: K1, *k2tog, k1*

Row 10: Purl

Row 11: *K2tog*

Cut the yarn and using a yarn needle thread the tail through the remaining stitches and pull them closed, then sew the seam closed between the top of the head and the stomach.

Stomach:

Cast on 12

Work in st st for 2 inches, or as long as the body

Cast off, then sew onto the body.

Mane:

Cast on 8

Row 1: Purl

Row 2: Loop knitting

Repeat rows 1 and 2 until the mane is as long as you want it, then p2tog and continue pattern for 4 more rows.

Cast off and sew onto body.

- alternatively, knit a rectangle and fold it over, then sew it onto the head and body. -

Ears: (make 4)

Cast on 13

Work in st st for 4 rows, then k2tog at each end of every alternate row until 3 remain.

Cast off, then sew two sides together and attach to body along the bottom, or at the edges of the ears leaving the middle unattached like the original furbs.

Bottom:

Cast on 10
