Cottage Creations’ Wonderful Wallaby, its most popular pattern, was first published in 1984, almost thirty-nine years ago. Over the years hundreds of knitters reported they’ve knit not just one Wallaby, but many. They’ve tweaked the pattern, and using their creativity have often shared photos on Ravelry or Pinterest. Like other knitters, I’ve knit many Wallabies over the years for friends and family. In so doing I’ve made innovations and incorporated shared techniques. I’ve realized the necessity for more diagrams. Because of the additions, it became necessary to divide this “new generation” into two separate booklets—one for kids (sizes 2-12), the other for grown-ups (5 sizes). The pattern is available in print or on Ravelry. Note: Please be advised…there is nothing wrong with the original pattern (W03) I’ve simply updated it.
