The Knit Guru

I have become more than a little enamored with Labubu of late…. Here is another offering. This one requires a face, feet and hands. I will link to where some of these are available.

There is a video tutorial to help with this pattern here:

You will need:
3.5mm knitting needles
Velvet yarn
Darning needle, scissors and stuffing
Face, feet and hands
Hot glue
Keychain

I also have this tutorial which has more images side by side for the pieces…. and doesn’t require the additional plastic elements. https://theknitguru.com/2025/07/14/labubu-free-knitting-pattern/

This pattern is also interactive on Ribbr
