Hot Air Balloon

Knitting Pattern PDF

The project is enjoyed as a toy or a mobile. The figures in the basket are small so please do not give them to a young child. For a baby mobile, stitch the figures to the basket to prevent them from falling out.

All parts are knitted flat and sewn up at the end. No circular knitting is required. The balloon body is 9-10cm long, the boy is 5cm, the chicken is 4cm, chick 2cm.
