Make an adorable collection of knitted animal toys with these new patterns by talented knitted toy designer, Louise Crowther. Louise, brings her unique style of coordinated knitwear with cute colourwork details to this new collection of toy animal knitting patterns. There are a total of 13 knitted animals – each with their own unique personality and style. You can make a hare, raccoon, horse, pig, owl, hedgehog, ram, cat, dog, mouse, fox, squirrel or duck – or make all of them! The animals all have the same basic body, with a few colour variations and tail additions, so the clothes can be mixed and matched between them to create endless outfit possibilities. There are so many wardrobe options included in the book: dresses, coats and cardigans, overalls, shorts and pants, shoes, a bandana and even a hand bag. Choose your favourite animals and select their outfits from all the options, and have fun making the perfect gift for friends and family. Louise’s designs feature beautiful colourwork techniques such as intarsia and fair isle which sets these projects apart from the other knitted animal books. And all the outfits also interchange with the ones from Louise’s follow-up book, Knitted Wild Animal Friends! Louise’s attention to detail means that every outfit fits perfectly and you will enjoy creating all the details that make each one so distinctive. There are instructions for how to construct the animal dolls and outfits as well as step-by-step photography for any unusual techniques. Louise also explains how to follow charts for the colourwork details in the outfits, as well as step-by-step tutorials for any special stitches. This is a special collection of knitted toy animals and their clothing and accessories of the highest quality. .
