Using one of our patterns you can knit your very own Duncan the donkey, Hattie the horse, Oscar the ox or Emma the elephant! You can also crochet Clarence the camel, all to help SPANA treat hardworking animals in need.
You can purchase the pattern in our shop to get started.
When you’ve finished knitting your chosen animal, you may of course like to keep them; but should you wish to donate him to SPANA they’ll find a very special home in one of our animal clubs for schoolchildren in the countries we work. There, they will continue to spread SPANA’s animal welfare messages to the next generation of animal owners. Please send your finished knitted animals to:
SPANA
PO Box 79509
London
EC4P 4ND
Our Big Knit for Vet Kit pack contains all five of the animal patterns for knitting and crocheting.

Many thanks to our pattern designer, Val Pierce (www.crossedneedles.co.uk).
Actress and SPANA supporter, Pam Ferris, is delighted to be supporting the campaign. She said:
Knitting for SPANA means you can enjoy being creative while raising much-needed funds to help sick and injured working animals in developing countries throughout the world. Whether you’re an experienced knitter or a complete novice, I’d encourage everyone to pick up their needles and have a go at making one of these adorable animals.
