UK Police Officers

Knitting Pattern PDF

Finished size: Police car, 15cm long, 6cm tall, Officers, 9-10cm, dog, 6cm

All parts are knitted flat and sewn up at the end. No circular knitting is required.  The pattern includes the police car, male and female police officers, an officer with a tall hat, and a dog.

The police car is crafted using the Intarsia method. Prepare small balls of fluorescent yellow and blue wool for the project. This approach is preferable over carrying yarns at the back of the work to prevent any unworked yarn from showing through the stitches.

Officers’ jackets are worked with two strands taken from DK weight yarn (yarns A and E in the list below).
