This is my Marvin The Blue Monkey nursery toy knitting pattern and it’s what started the whole Nursery series. I was sat in front of the fire watching Columbo one cold Sunday afternoon when I decided to knit something for my niece Lucy who was about to have a baby. As us madmonkeys ALWAYS have boys I made this little fellow.

The next day I got an email to say that Jennifer Kate had just been born!!!!! So it was back to the drawing board!
I designed the whole series with speed and simplicity in mind. Sometimes its fun to just make something really fast and it gives you the confidence to go back to all those half done projects you are always meaning to finish.

This is my Bobby the Boxing Kangaroo knitting pattern. Bobby stands at 50 cm high and can be made with moving head arms and legs (as seen here) or as a slightly simpler non-jointed version. Bobby is knitted in any dk of your choice on 3.00 mm needles. His gloves, boots and shorts are all removeable.
