Knitted Animals

If you love to knit, you'll love making these 13 knitted animals by Louise Crowther. Soft and endearing characters to cherish.

This intermediate-level knitting book not only offers patterns for knitted soft toys but also outfits and accessories to showcase them.

No matter which character you knit, you'll fall in love!

13 knitted animals and 27 accessories or outfits

To avoid disappointment, Louise Crowther shares her tips for getting started. She explains how to knit 13 animals, their clothes & accessories.

All mascots measure approximately 40 cm tall (without ears):

• George the dog and his stylish bandana
• Bella the cat and her pompom scarf
• Noah the horse and his buttoned overalls
• Dorothy the mouse and her Mary Jane shoes
• Charlotte the fox and her shoulder bag
• Stanley the raccoon and his striped shorts…

Don't limit yourself to the outfits suggested for each animal. Since they are all the same size, you can mix and match them as much as you like. The author has carefully designed each garment to fit any animal, with small buttoned openings to accommodate all different-sized tails.

Why not create Charlotte's coat in a shade of blue for Amelia? Or dress your hedgehog in shorts and a striped top? You can even create an interchangeable wardrobe for each animal.

A knitted soft toy book for intermediate level!

It would be frustrating to be an intermediate knitter and not have the pleasure of knitting one of these adorable animals!

Éditions de Saxe has thought of almost-beginners in knitting: this knitting book is intended for knitters who know how to purl and knit. In short, those who know the basics of knitting. Because then, everything is precisely explained in the book with step-by-step photos, including the following techniques:

• Provisional cast-on (or double cast-on)
• Picking up stitches
• Mattress stitch
• Stripes
• Stranded knitting (Fair Isle)
• Intarsia…

All occasions are good for giving a handmade gift to your loved ones: birthday, Christmas, party, retirement… You are bound to find one that will please the recipient with a knitted animal that resembles them or that they will want to cuddle!

We all have a very special person in our lives whom we would love to spoil and who would love to adopt one of these animals! And if you can't choose among this endearing family, why not make them all?
