Knit Farm Play Mat
We have yet another birthday this month. Skimmer turns 2. Continuing my current trend of giving handmade gifts, I've decided to knit him a play mat to go with our Schleich farm animals. I'm more of a process knitter than a pattern knitter, so this play mat pattern is more of a "suggestion" than a recipe. You can, of course, knit these sections in any order that you'd like or follow my layout, which I've included below. Also, if you really like color work, you can knit the entire thing as one piece. I've chosen to knit the big pieces in strips first and then to add the "road" strips to connect it all together. Colors My play mat is made of cheap yarn and stuff I had around the house. Because of the choice to use what was easy, my play mat looks a bit like a coloring book page. Most of the playscapes that I linked below chose much milder, earthy colors. It's up to you.
