Native America

Knitting Pattern PDF to make bison and dolls in 3 sizes.

Finished size: Bison 14cm long, 9cm tall, Dolls 7 - 12.5cm tall

All parts are knitted flat and sewn up at the end.

The Bison's head is crafted using textured yarn. Consider using Teddy bear yarn or Bouclé yarn that you can find locally. The knitting techniques needed include basic knit and purl stitches but be cautious during the assembly process. Having prior experience in doll making will be beneficial.

The project calls for small amounts of DK yarn. Feel free to use your stash. If you have dark-coloured wool fleece or toy stuffing, you can use it to fill the bison.
