The Nibbles KAL

The Nibbles KAL

We have been a fan of Cinthia Vallet's unique designs for years so we were super excited when she asked us to be one of the three shops around the world to co-host The Nibbles Knit Along!

Join The Nibbles Knit Along

Join us and knit the adorable nieces and nephews of Bunny Odile – The Nibbles Siblings.

To take part, get The Nibbles pattern here and grab some lovely 4ply yarn from your stash or from the shop. We've put together kits for the Nibbles Bunny and Clothing, as well as some bundles of mini skeins just for the clothing, so you can try different fibres and colours to build the tiny wardrobe. Scroll to see the kit colour and fibre combinations.

We've set up a section on our website with Nibbles yarn ideas, Nibbles yarn bundles, doll buttons and needle options. You can find that here:

Beginner friendly
Cinthia's patterns are extremely well-written so if you've never knitted an animal before, she'll walk you through all the steps with detailed instructions making it very easy to follow. As long as you can manage a long circular needle or a set of DPNs, we reckon you can do it!

Chat to participants & share your progress
Cinthia will be hosting a forum for the Nibbles KAL over on her Substack page here. This is where the main chat will take place.

We will also be posting about it on Instagram, so feel free to post photos and follow along over there as well.

If you're in town, pop in to Knit Night on Fridays 4pm-8pm to knit along with us!

The KAL starts on Tuesday 12 November (Central European Standard Time) which is this Wednesday here in New Zealand, and runs through to the end of the year.

About the pattern

The Nibbles are a family of four bunnies worked seamlessly with DPNs or magic loop so there's no assembly needed after you knit. The pattern includes instructions to knit the bunnies and all their outfits.

Materials
You'll need 4ply / Fingering weight yarn. Each bunny only uses about 13g (52m) of wool and no more than 10g (40m) for each garment. So the KAL is perfect to use leftover yarn, mini skeins or try a new fibre you've had your eye on but aren't ready to commit to a full adult-sized garment.

Needles
2mm (US 0) DPNs or magic loop and 2.75mm needle for the clothing

The Nibbles Kits

We love how different fibres add personality to the bunny outfits. We've put together four Bunny and Clothing kits (one for each sibling) with enough yarn to knit 2 bunnies and their garments using a variety of fibres and colours:

Coco's Jewel Tones
Elton's French Wardrobe
Ole's Popping Pink
Olga Nature Lover

Shop The Nibbles Bunny and Clothing Kits

If you'd like to knit 4 bunnies, you will just need to get an extra 50 grams of bunny wool!

If you already have your bunny yarn, you can still play with different fibres for the outfits with the Clothing Kits.

Alanna's projects

Alanna has knit quite the collection of Cinthia's tiny animals. One of the joys of knitting them is seeing the animal emerge as you knit and then getting to dress them in adorable outfits!
