Today I’m going to take you through making a knitted and stuffed Marvel Thor’s Hammer. It is a design I came up with myself, and is broken down into easy-to-follow steps with photos.
*Be safe when making this when it will be around little kids/babies and animals. It’s durability and safety depends on how strongly it is put together.*
STEP 1
Knit the individual pieces all in garter stitch (both sides knit).
You will have (from photo below top to bottom, left to right) –
1x CO8, K 59cm (designated A)
2x CO20, K 18cm (designated B)
2x CO8, K 14cm (designated C)
1x CO5, K 34cm (designated D)
(white sections listed under photo)
White wings (it doesn’t matter if these don’t come out in the perfect shape, as you can manoeuvre it when you sew it on).
2x CO10

BO
STEP 2
This is the handle of the hammer. You will use C and D. C (2 pieces) are the sides, and D is sewn around them, making a 3D rectangle. Do not sew it up completely. Leave one side open.
STEP 3
You can either stuff the filling in like it is, or, as I did to make sure no fibres poked through, I sewed a little fabric packet stuffed with fill.
Sew up the remaining side.
STEP 4
Sew the white wings on – one on each B. As stated before, when sewing them on, you can give them more of a proper wing shape.
STEP 5
Like STEP 3, connect the Bs with A, making it into a 3D rectangle. As you sew-up the bottom-middle, sew-on the handle. Add stuffing (again, can be in a fabric pouch), and close it all up.
