Georgina was asked to design a collection of knitted toys for an article called Knit on The Wild Side. It featured in Womens Institute magazine Home and Country in 1992. It highlighted endangered species .In 1992 there were less than 600 Mountain Gorillas in Rwanda. Today there are about 1000. A bit of a success story. Doesn't he look just like a gorilla. So cute

Full description
This is for the PDF only of Gorilla knitting pattern which will be manually sent to you at your registered email address
MR MOUNTAIN GORILLA measures 23 cm ( 9") tall when completed in DK yarn. He even has a proper opening and closing mouth!
This pattern first appeared in Home & Country magazine (WI) in April 1992. It was included in an article called Knit on the Wild Side ( Endangered Species) We have included a picture of the Gorilla as featured in Home & Country magazine. The original pattern included instructions for a baby Gorilla but we have decided to omit this for our new version pattern.
We decided that the Mountain Gorilla deserved a fresh look and so took a picture of the original Gorilla in Georginas garden. He still looks great doesn't he!! This is exactly the same pattern as featured in Home & Country magazine(with the exception of the baby Gorilla) but the designer & myself have given it a new updated picture and format . Georgina & I ( Suzannah) now work together as designers with joint copyrights
