Edward's Menagerie: Birds - New Edition: Over 50 easy-to-make soft toy crochet bird patterns

Edward's Menagerie: Birds - New Edition by Kerry Lord is a fully revised, updated and expanded edition of the bestselling crochet bird book. This new edition adds 18 new patterns and brings together a colourful range of fine-feathered characters designed to be crocheted as soft toy birds, from a bashful flamingo to a romance-writing owl and a politically incorrect pheasant.

Alongside the patterns, the book includes character-led notes for each bird, exploring adorations and aversions, as well as daydreams and delusions, before you begin making. Patterns are grouped by difficulty and use basic stitches, with step-by-step technical guides included for beginners. Each bird can be crocheted in four different sizes, creating over 200 pattern possibilities.
