What did the buffalo say to his son on his first day of school? Bison! Make your own wild friend with this bison / buffalo knitting pattern. It's full of personality and would make a statement in any home. Loop stitch is used to give the bison it’s curly and rugged look, and a photo tutorial for the loop stitch is included in the pattern. The pattern also includes instructions on how to make a giant and a mini bison / buffalo head, so you can knit your one in the size you’d like.

To complete your mini or giant head, you’ll need a separate mini or giant backing board to display it on. You can buy yours in our Haberdashery section.

This knitting pattern won’t teach you how to knit, but my new book First Time Knits can take you from beginner to knitter in nine fun (and cute) projects - https://www.sincerelylouise.co.uk/products/pre-order-first-time-knits

We'd recommend one of our easy knit scarf knits, like the fox, panda or bear. These kits include tips for beginners throughout the pattern and only use the 'knit' stitch. Our unicorn scarf is also very easy, but does not include the beginner tips. If you can knit, purl and decrease we'd recommend one of our hat kits.

Our kits won't teach you how to knit but are designed to be fun and simple knits. We're currently working on our first set of Youtube videos so watch this space. We're always happy to point you in the right direction of our favourite learn to knit videos in the mean time.

We can offer our knitting kits as finished pieces, just drop us a message with what you're interested in and we'll see what we can do.

Please note that we do charge accordingly per piece and that they are not 'cheap' to buy. We'd always recommend buying a kit and seeing if you have any friends or relatives who can make it up for you.

Sincerely Louise does not allow for customers to sell finished pieces from any of our kits, digital patterns or book patterns. All our patterns are for personal use only and feature a copyright notice which states they cannot be used for any commercial purpose without permission from the copyright holder.

This is our policy because we've spent a long time establishing ourself as an independent brand. We feel when people sell our finished knits it undervalues the business and the hard work spent designing the patterns. We love it when our kits being gifted, be it to a crafter to make, or a finished piece to friends or family, but it breaks our heart seeing a finished piece being sold and our copyright ignored. We hope you understand.
