Benjamine the Watervole Kit by Cinthia Vallet (Annual Five)

£40.00 - £137.50

We now offer handy kits for all our patterns in The Annual (issue five)! These are the kits fo the super cute Benjamine, the Watervole, and her family – their favourite pastimes include sunning themselves at the beach, resisting the rain in their incredibly sweet raincoats, and frolicking about the Devon coast.

All kits include enough yarn and stuffing to make the respective watervole and its garments, along with a limited edition button badge and a fab project bag to keep it all safe. Please be aware that the kit does not include a copy of The Annual – you can get your copy here. Happy knitting!

Benjamine the Watervole is a little critter who lives the most beautiful summer by the seaside, quietly sailing on the waves, trotting in the mist, nestling in a little beach hut or sleeping under the stars. She is a joyful little vole who loves to share her adventures with her family, Little Mo and Grand-Ma.

Benjamine and her little brother Mo are worked up in 4ply yarn – Knit by Numbers 4ply and Exmoor Sock – while Grand-Ma is knitted in Harvest Hues Worsted, Knit by Numbers DK, and Devon Naturals DK. You can get a kit for each one of them – or one with the entire family included!

Samples

The kit does not include buttons, embroidery thread and safety eyes.

Please note: If you order a print copy of the Annual (issue five) with your kit, both of them will ship together in late August.
