Jelly Bum Mole

Mole Knitting Pattern available from Etsy, Website & Ravelry

Oh my we're now half way through the new pattern released now that we're on the 5th pattern for a little knitted mole. This little guy has burrowed his way right into the heart of the Jelly Bum zoo as a lovable little character. The little claws on this guy were a challange for me to create wihtout a complex design or too much finshing at the end. I think he looks so sweet and far from being a pest that many golfer see him as!

This week it's a big congratulations to Daniel Stacey who can get his needles clucking by knitting up the chicken pattern he won from last weeks give away. As promised you'll get to find out what next weeks pattern release is by hopping on over to our give away page to be in with a chance of winning it on it's release day.

I'm having a lot of fun regaining my knitting fever again and so I'm cracking on through that elusive animal list I've had going for well .... forever! I've had a good few suggestions sent it from people which will duly be tackled. It's always difficult to pick which one to do next as I just wish I had the time to create them all. I've also been adding a few free pattern for Frozen dolls over on my free pattern blog The Knitted Toy Box. On top of that if you haven't seen my knitted doll designs I also have more dolls in the pipeline for my Elf Pop Knitted Doll range. So keep your eyes peeled for any updates with these if your looking for some unique knitted doll patterns.

Ok all, until next week, be good and keep on knitting.

Jelly Bum Chicken

Chicken Knitting Pattern available from Etsy, Website & Ravelry

I've popped by today to officially announce the release of the Jelly Bum Chicken toy knitting pattern. I'm wondering if you guys are all fed up looking at eggs, especially of the chocolate kind since yesterday! This pattern has been hugely requested over the years so I've been itching to make one. It adds another little animal to the farmyard bunch including the cat, dog, pig, cow, goat and sheep! Keep an eye out for more friends to join them in the very near future.

It's that time of year when a lot of knitters slow down with their projects as the weather heats up. The Jelly Bum patterns are great quick and simple knit projects for passing the time on lazy days in the garden.

This week I want to say a huge well done to Emma G who won the Koala knitting pattern last week. If you want to have a first look at the pattern I'll be releasing on the 28th April then head over to the give-away page for your chance to win the first copy. Remember you got to be in it to win it, and it's really simple with the rafflecopter entry.

So until next week my friends, have lots of fun knitting and best of luck to all the competition entrys.

Frog Toy Knitting Pattern

Pattern available from Etsy, Website & Ravelry

Hey all, today this little froggy will be added to the Jelly Bum crew.  I've had quite a lot of requests for this pattern over the years. I had never really worked out how to design the face to look as you know frogs have those big protruding eyes. I'm really happy with how the finished toy looks, and he has a lot of character is that little green face.

Let me know what you think of him by commenting below or over on the Jelly Bums Facebook page. The frog pattern is now the 37th pattern Jelly Bum design, so i'm now making my way through my huge animal list that I set up when I started designing these knitting pattern nearly 6 years ago! If there is a pattern you would love to see me create them please do let me know as I may not have it down in my list. I was contemplating maybe reaching my original goal of 50 patterns and then branching out a section for different breeds of animals like dogs or monkeys. So if that's what you would like to see me create then let me know.

Want to find out what the next pattern release will be on Tuesday 15th April? Then pop over to the competition page for the chance to win a copy on release day.

See you next week for the next pattern release

Happy Knitting
