Please help me to find a link to a free knitting pattern to knit a camel. A friend has asked me to look for one, and I have failed to find one.
Thank you in advance.

There are a couple patterns on ebay, and this one (way down the page on the right margin) which says it is a download.

Well, shoot! It gave a link and said to scroll to the bottom of the page to find the camel, but I can't find it.

mcdirector · Jan 18, 2010

ok, I found one that is crocheted (I know you asked for knitted, but thought this might work). . .

Who would have thought camels were so rare

Here is the pattern from Kristie MN:

Claude the Camel

A fellow C'viller asked me to figure out a camel to help finish her nativity scene... here is what I came up with.
Claude is about 5 inches tall, and about 5-6 inches from nose to tail.
This pattern has not been tested, so if you find any errors, please let me know!
Enjoy!

Gwyneth,

Here is an ebay link to some knitting patterns which may be of interest to you. Alan Dart's Noah's Ark patterns, which include a came.l pattern are also available on ebay but they are frightfully expensive. I don't have a camel patten in my collection otherwise I would lend it to you.
