Visit London and you can't escape from the Queen, especially this year as she will be celebrating her Diamond Jubilee on June 5th. Why not get into the celebratory mood by knitting a miniature version of HRH and her corgis?!

To make this version of the Queen, download the knitting pattern and list of materials . Or, see Knitthepigeon.com for the pattern and other fab knitting ideas.

Knitting the Queen

You can stand this knitted Queen as a stately sentry by your finest English breakfast tea caddy; dangle her from your Christmas tree in time for the Queen’s festive speech; or send her as a stately souvenir to someone who thinks all things royal are awfully quaint. This Queen is the young and funky model. You can make the more mature Queen by adding silvery-grey hair and HUGE speech-reading glasses for authenticity. And what kind of a Queen Liz would she be without her faithful corgis? You can stitch her tiny snuffling hounds, too. Just make sure to walk them twice a day. They may have little legs, but they still need exercise. Order the Stitch London Knitting Pack for the special price of £15.99 (rrp £21.49 free p&p (UK only). To order please visit Rucraft.co.uk and quote promo code R11622 upon checkout or call RUCraft on 0844 8805851.
