My solution to a child's quintessential plea to a parent: "Can I have a hamster?" I started making these about 3 years ago because my youngest, who was about 3 at the time, wanted a hamster just like her big sister. We have since had a go with multiple rodents, turned our backyard into bit of a pet cemetery, and resorted to these little cuties entirely.
I've made hairy pink ones, fuzzy grey ones, and a couple brown teddy bear hamsters during which time I have been testing my pattern. This I will be coming shortly, I promise, to my Etsy site, birdinanest.
I call it, quite simply, "Realistic Hamster Pattern." It can also be knit on a smaller scale to make a Siberian hamster, which is noted in the pattern.
Knit all in the round with one long circular needle, it's a pretty easy pattern, with a little extra attention given to the short row shaping. Wish me luck. This will be the first thing I put on my Etsy site.

Hello! Thank you for visiting Planet Penny. I am completely in love with your hamster. So much cuter than the real thing! And the strawberries are looking good too!

Hi,
ReplyDeleteI bought this pattern 3 years ago and never received it. Can you send it again??? I am wanting to make this for my daughter. She wants a hamster but too young to have one yet.
Thank you, Maria
