Knitting pattern for Blue off the vauxhall adverts?

My brother wants me to knit him the blue character from the c'mon dolls that are advertising the vauxhall adverts, any idea's would be much appreciated.|||I have no idea what you're talking about, as I live in a different country and don't get the same adverts. However, I can tell you generally how to make anything into a knitting pattern. If you draw passably well, draw the figure onto graph paper. If you don't draw well, get a photo of whatever you want to knit. Place a thin sheet of graph paper over the picture and trace it onto the graph paper.





Use that as a guide, using one square as a stitch horizontally, and 2 squares as 3 rows vertically. (Knit stitches aren't square, but are wider than they are tall, so you need to make this adjustment to make your picture come out ok.) Work it out from there.





If he wants this character as a freestanding figure, you'll need to increase and decrease to make the shape. Write down what you're doing so you can make the front and back identical, or knit them both at the same time.





If he wants it on a jumper, get a plain jumper pattern and incorporate this graphed picture onto the front of the jumper. Figure out how to center it by counting. Count your stitches across the front of the jumper. Count across the bottom row of your graphed picture. Subtract the number of squares on your picture from the number of stitches across the front of the jumper and divide your ansewer by 2. That's how many stitches of jumper you'll need before starting your picture. (If your jumper is 80 stitches across and your picture is 30 squares across, you'll make 25 stitches and then switch colors to start your picture, knit those 30 stitches, and then switch colors again to do the last 25 stitches across the jumper front.)
