Dinky Bugs

Some happy Dinky Bugs! These little bugs are fun quick to knit toys, and include a dinky bee, ladybird and dragonfly. Each is worked predominantly in stockinette, with knitted bobbles for eyes, and slipped stitch edges on the garter stitch wings. Designed by Amanda Berry @fluffandfuzz, the toys are knitted in acrylic DK yarns on single pointed needles (not in the round). The antennae and bee sting are i-cord tubes worked on two DPNs. For confident beginners and above, other techniques used include casting on and off, knits, purls, increases and decreases, knitting stripes, and seaming to finish.
