Homework will never be boring with this fun set of farmyard pencil toppers; they also make super thank you gifts for teachers. You can knit four animals with this pattern, a donkey, cow, pig and sheep.  Designed by Amanda Berry @fluffandfuzz, the toppers are knitted in acrylic DK yarns on single pointed needles (not in the round).

Find the knitting pattern at LoveCrafts.

A pair of 3.75mm single pointed knitting needles (US 5).

Sirdar Hayfield Bonus DK; double knitting/light worsted weight; 100% acrylic; one 100g/280m skein in each colour.

Tapestry needle, toy filling or cotton wool balls to stuff the heads, and beads for eyes.

For confident beginners and above, other techniques used include casting on and off, knits, purls, increases and decreases, and seaming to finish.
