Free toy vegetable knitting patterns
Knit five different vegetables with our free patterns from Louise Butt. You can choose from a carrot, beetroot, sweetcorn and aubergine.
We think they'd be perfect for Harvest Festival this autumn - and to keep the kids entertained over the school holidays. Remember if you're giving them to younger kids it's better to embroider the eyes on instead of attaching googly eyes.
And best of all, you can download the patterns free – just click the link at the end of the article.
