Full Etsy listing description
Knit a small riverbank companion with this original knitted otter pattern PDF. The ten-page A4 guide makes a seated brown otter with a pale belly and muzzle, little ears, two arms, two feet and a long tapered tail. All eleven pieces are knitted flat on straight needles: stocking stitch shapes the brown pieces, while garter stitch gives the pale patches a gentle texture. Use smooth DK yarn, clean stuffing and embroidered eyes, nose and short whisker stitches. Intended sitting height is about 18-20 cm at the stated gauges; finishing affects the result. Complete written instructions, stitch-count tables, precise construction diagrams, gauge calculations, colour ideas and care guidance accompany checked river-otter facts. Suitable for knitters comfortable with simple shaping and small-part sewing. Illustrations show the intended design; physical test-knitting remains outstanding. Designed for decorative shelf display, not as a tested or certified toy.
From download to done

Get ready for your knitted river otter

  1. Read the ten-page A4 pattern and check both washed gauges: stocking stitch 24 stitches and 32 rows; garter stitch 24 stitches and 48 rows per 10 cm.
  2. Knit eleven pieces flat on straight needles, following the row tables and exact shaping counts; brown stocking-stitch tubes and pale garter-stitch patches use different row gauges.
  3. Seam, stuff, attach securely and embroider the face. This is a decorative shelf item, not a tested or certified toy; keep it away from babies, children and pets.
