Bring the charm of the coast to your needles with this brilliantly bold knitted lobster. Worked flat on straight needles with no knitting in the round, it’s an easy/intermediate project that knits up surprisingly quickly, perfect for when you want something joyful and a little bit quirky. Those long feelers and chunky claws give it heaps of character, making it a real showstopper once finished.

So crack on and get knitting! Part of the Beside the Seaside collection, this kit includes a beautifully printed booklet featuring this pattern plus nine other coastal-inspired designs. Whether it’s destined for a bathroom shelf, a child’s room, or your own crafty display, this little crustacean is sure to raise a smile.
