Thanks for a very cute pattern, AND for being so generous!!
ReplyDeleteLove love love. My 10-yr-old son and I watched Miffy all the time when he was small. Lovely, warm memory. Thank you!
ReplyDeleteThanks for this very cute pattern.
ReplyDeleteI am from belgium and we name it nijntje.
i am gonna make it and will show . you a picture
Sorry for my spelling,my english is not so good.
This is awesome, Miffy is the cutest bunny ever!
ReplyDeleteMiffy is adorable! I am knitting a bunny hat for a baby girl for Easter and might have to knit a Miffy to go along with it!!!!
ReplyDeleteAdorable! I hope to be able to knit this for my daughter for Easter. I'll post it on Ravelry if I do. Thanks!
ReplyDeleteThank you for this pattern. I had trouble with the following two rows:
ReplyDeleteArm Row 9 as written would yield 16, not 18 stitches
Dress Row 20 is written as an increase row, but the stitch total yields a decrease row
Was it ever decided whether dress row 20 was intended as an increase or decrease row?
DeleteI knit it as in increase row. Fits better.
DeleteI think both cases are simple typos
DeleteArm row 9 as "(kfb, k4) repeat to end of round" yields 18sts and also makes sense for the "repeat" (whereas (kfb, k14) would leave nothing to repeat)
And dress row 20 following (p8, pfb) around would give 84sts, so I think the "64" was just a typo as well
Thank you so much for sharing this pattern for free.....my daughter, who is now 33 simply loved Miffy and her friends when she was a child, now she has 4 girls all of whom love Miffy too!!! guess what grandma will be doing for the next week or so?????
ReplyDeletethank you all for all the lovely comments. Hope you guys will enjoy knitting it.
ReplyDeleteAh! Miffy is wonderful, and so are you!! Thank you for sharing this delightful pattern.
ReplyDeletehow cute! I love Miffy!
ReplyDeleteI don't understand this bit (it's mentioned at more places, but this is from the head): "CO4 sts as the inside edge of the first ear." "Stuff the head before beginning knitting. Pm."
ReplyDeleteCO and pm don't seem to be explained. Could you help me with this? Like anonymous 8 march, English is my second language. I can speak it quite well, but knittingpatterns can be quite confusing :P
hi aerofemme, co means to cast on. so CO4 will mean cast on 4 sts. hope this helps.
DeleteOops, my bad, pm is explained :)
ReplyDeleteHi! Love the pattern, am trying it right now for a little person I know...Quick qn - when you begin the body, do you cast on the 24 stitches by picking them up from the cast off edge of the head? It doesn't say anywhere how to attach the body to the head - just wondering! Also, I cast off 4 at the ears instead of casting on (wasn't sure about CO4!) so now I see where I went wrong! Thanks for posting!
ReplyDeletehi sorry for the late reply.
Deletethe body and the head is knitted separately and sew to attach. Hope this help! please ask if you're hving other problem.
thanks
knitterbees
I just love this Miffy! Thank you for sharing her!
ReplyDeleteI also love this pattern. I am fairly new to knitting and was wondering how I knit 24 stitches in the round when they no way near meet. What am I missing in the instructions? Thanks for sharing this adorable pattern.Cheers Mary
ReplyDeleteI thought the same, so I decided not to knit it in the round. Remember the rows will be purl. OR - double ended needles until you have enough stitches to knit in the round. OR - magic loop. I hope this helps. Happy knitting, Jane
DeleteEvery other row will be purl. - sorry.
Deletethank you very much for the description of the miraculous крольчонка. we love it very much, the most favourite personage. turned out wonderfully!
ReplyDeleteella, Russia
Thank you so much for a lovely pattern
ReplyDeleteMy Miffy turned out sooooo cute. I gave her to my God-daughter. I did have to knit the arms on straight needles and sew together.But she definitely worked out very well.
ReplyDeleteHello! I love your Miffy pattern and knitted one for a friend's daughter! She loves her! I wanted to seek your permission to put Miffy in an auction to help a family whose daughter was born with cancer. All proceeds go to the family and I would make no profit, but the item would technically be sold. I will most certainly give credit to you for the pattern, but wanted to be sure this was okay! Thank you!
ReplyDeleteHow nice of you to make this for your friend's daughter. Of cos you can make this for the auction. Hope she'll recover from the cancer. :)
DeleteThis comment has been removed by the author.
DeleteHi! I'm pretty late to the Miffy game, but I'm determined to make one for my niece-to-be.
ReplyDeleteI'm a bit confused at the bit where you start dividing for the ears. After knitting the last 8 stitches, which bits are you joining to knit in the round? I've got 8 stitches ahead of me, and then the new 4 that I've CO. Can I email you a picture? I think I've totally messed up!
I have the same question. Can someone please explain?
DeleteHi... The Miffy rabbit with balloon is so cute!! May I know if you do knit and sell the final product?? I'm sorry because I don't know how to knit, and I am looking for one to give as a gift to my friend who will be returning to her country next month... Look forward to your reply soon... Thank you!!
ReplyDeleteI am so glad to have chanced on your blog- my deceased oldest was always known as Miffy for Mwyffanwy what a delighful interpretation of Dick Bruna's classic!
ReplyDeleteTHis is absolutely precious! Can't wait to try it. Thank you so much for sharing!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful! X
ReplyDeleteHow does the pattern jump from row 27 to row 31 on the body part when separating for the legs. I'm confused :/ x
ReplyDeleteMe too
DeleteElle est superbe j'adore.
ReplyDeleteMerci pour le tuto,
Thali
How do you print this pattern
ReplyDeleteHello, I am awful at inturpreting patterns, on the arms of the dress do I knit the arm first then join it to the round/gap created or do I knit straight into this rounds/gap.
ReplyDeleteMany thanks in advance
Merci de ces explications si détaillées
ReplyDelete;-)
Dear Shirley,
ReplyDeleteI wonder if you would like to put the Dutch translation of your Miffy pattern in your Ravelry account.
Since Dick Bruna, the Dutch father of Nijntje (or Miffy as she is called outside the Netherlands) died last week,
people are asking for a translation.
This translation is almost ready. With your pictures and a link to your Ravelry account.
Are you interested?

Does the dress have to be sewn together after it is place on Miffy?
ReplyDeleteLove it,made it
ReplyDeletetrès joli lapin avec sa petite robe. Cute
ReplyDeleteHi. Love the pattern . But not too good at using circular needles. Is it possible to knit Miffy on 2 straight needles instead of in the round. Thank you.
ReplyDeleteja hoor, dat doe ik ook.
DeleteI knitted the 2nd leg in the same way as the first and then sew the 8 stitches in the middle together, makes it more easy to stuff. Thanks for the pattern, I love Miffy !
ReplyDeleteShe's so cute. Do u have a newsletter
ReplyDeleteDo yu sew up the back of the dress when you place it on the body?
ReplyDeleteI have just downloaded your Miffy pattern and really wanted to thank you for your generosity in sharing it. I will have a lot of fun knitting it for my grandchildren, even if I'm not too keen on knitting on circular needles; The end result is so beautiful that i'm prepared to make an effort!! lol
ReplyDeletethanks a million
WOW ,Thank you so much for your generossity!
ReplyDelete.hello - am almost finished Miffy and I feel there is a small typo in the instructions for her Arms,ie Row 9 - reads (kfb, k14) repeat to end - 18sts, It should be, I think, (kfb, k4) rep to end. Pretty pattern, thank you
ReplyDeleteI am organising a wee group who are knitting items for the Glasgow Sick Childrens Hospital. Could I have permission to pass this pattern on to the rest of the group? No profit at all for us, all items go straight to the hospital who will give to the children or they will sell to raise funds.
ReplyDeleteHello Shirley! I included a link to this adorable pattern in a blog post a few years ago. I'd like to add photos, and I wondered if you would allow me to use one of yours? I'd credit you, of course. Feel free to email me at NHaschke(at)knittingforcharity.org. Thanks so much!

ReplyDeleteI would like to make another on but bigger with bulky yarn. Any idea how the pattern could be modified?

Hello, I just recently found your website. Thank you for sharing the pattern. I’m working on the dress and have a question on the sleeves.
ReplyDeleteSleeves:
With the 3.75mm straight needle pick up the top 6 stitches with one dpn and bottom 6 stitches with one dpn of the wasted yarn. Pick up the 2 stitches between the top and bottom stitch of each side with a dpn each. Remove the waste yarn and join to knit the round.
After we remove the waste yarn, are we still using straight (dp) needles or switching to circular?
Miffy and her balloon plush toy bring comfort and joy, much like yellowstone jackets provide warmth and protection. Whether you're cuddling up with a soft toy or wearing a jacket to stay cozy, both are perfect for creating a sense of security and comfort in any situation.
