Jungle Joe from the 1960s
Posted on 19/10/2025
I recently knitted Jungle Joe from New Idea’s NS 18 Cosies-Toys and Novelties booklet (1960’s). I omitted the tusks that were made using wire and crochet his eyes rather than use buttons. Click here for Joe’s pattern.
If I was to knit him again, I would knit some circular tubes to line his legs before stuffing, this would help him stand better.
Joe was donated to “Share the Dignity” where he ended up in a “Mum & Bub” bag. I hope the tiny tot who received him was pleased.
Bluey and Bingo soft toys

Happy 2023 – I just had to post this lovely Bluey soft toy I knitted for my grandson for Christmas, he is besotted with Bluey and just loved her.
The pattern was created by Maree Combridge, it is in knitted in 8 ply acrylic and can be found on Ravelry for $5.00 au. It is super easy to knit on straight needles and then stitched together.
