Wee Ones
Seamless Knit Toys
with Susan B. Anderson
Susan B. Anderson's wee knitted animals are so cute, you'll want to make dozens! The included pattern was designed exclusively for Craftsy.
Knit along with Susan B. Anderson as she shows you how to use double-pointed needles to shape three different heads, a baby elephant, an adorable bunny and a winsome hippo. Then pick up stitches to create the rest of the toy, using the same body for all three Wee Ones. Add arms and legs, perky ears and tails and an embroidered face and your Wee Ones are ready to give - or keep for yourself!
Along the way, you'll learn to use double-pointed needles, master the wrap and turn technique to make short rows, create afterthought features, work top down and finish with the Kitchener stitch - all great skills for future projects!
Sign up today and get a bonus itty-bitty striped sweater lesson. These sweet little animals will become your go-to knitted gift!

- Polyester fiberfill, 1 large bag

Super fun class
A great experience
I've just finished the elephant. I learned so many techniques.
Susan really knows how to present the material in a fun and non-stressful way.
Like sitting down with a friend.
Susan is perfect in her series. I have learned a great deal and hope to make many more of the Wee Ones. She is like a friend who you are knitting with over coffee. If she does another class whatever it is, I'll take it. (grin)
Excellent and easy
I hate sewing up so this was perfect for me, 1st elephant completed so easily, marvellous tuition from a very enthusiastic teacher in conjuction with pattern, shall do rabbit next followed by hippo.
Wonderful!
Susan, I really enjoyed this class! I purchased the class back in 2011 and just recently decided it was time to make my first toy. I can tell that the bunny I made will be the first of many toys that I make! I have since purchased your Itty Bitty Toys book and can't wait to try a toy with seaming next. Thanks again!
