Product Details

My pattern for the knitted version of the beautiful eastern grey kangaroo and it's baby, which live all around here. Call her Skippy, if you like! Yes, I grew up watching that show...

Knitted flat using DK or Light Worsted wool and 3mm or US Size 3 knitting needles.

The finished mother will be about 46 cm or 18 inches high and the Joey 15 cm or 6 inches high. Both mother and baby are easy to knit, but mother takes a little while to complete. Well worth it though! The baby is a quick project.

Did you know: A male kangaroo is called a boomer A female kangaroo is called a flyer A baby kangaroo is called a joey
