The project, crafted by Lesley Page, was showcased at the Suffolk Food Hall in Wherstead, just outside the town.
Mrs Page, who worked as an office administrator at the venue, expressed her satisfaction upon completing the project, which took her about 50 hours.

“It was fiddly at times, and I did wonder if I’d be able to finish it, but it’s ready to go to the raffle now.”
The knitted King stood 34 cm tall from the base to his crown.
Mrs Page dedicated many evenings and weekends to the project, sharing her passion for handcrafts.
She added: “Sewing, embroidery and knitting are my main hobbies.
“I’ve been knitting since I was a young child.
“My mother taught us all how to knit and sew.
“I find it very relaxing after a long day of work.”
The knitted King Charles was scheduled to be raffled off with proceeds going to Macmillan Cancer Support.
Nick Punter, of the Suffolk Food Hall, said: “The charity was chosen by our staff members.
“We are going to raffle at a £1 a ticket, all money raised will go to the charity.”
