This is my 5-page PDF digital knitting pattern for a very cute knitted rat. Each cuddly rat is approximately 7 inches long from nose to bottom, not including the tail. They are super easy to knit! You knit them flat using a pair of 4mm knitting needles for the body, and 3mm and 4mm needles for the legs. The tail is made using i-cord or French knitting. You can use the DK yarn of your choice.
The pattern includes instructions on how to make single colour and bi-coloured rats, along with photos to help you position the ears and legs. There's the option to insert wire into the front legs to make them pose-able, or you can leave them soft.
