Knitting Pattern: Lobster Toy (in English)
This project is perfect for knitters looking to craft a unique and playful sea creature. You'll start by knitting the lobster's body in the round, beginning at the head and working in the round to the tail, finishing with a Kitchener stitch. The claws, legs, and antennae are knitted separately and then sewn onto the body. Finally, give your lobster its personality by adding a simple embroidered face. Create your own charming knit lobster toy with this fun and detailed pattern!
