Designed for both beginners and more experienced crocheters, this guide sets out step-by-step instructions for making supersized farm animals in bulky and super bulky yarn. Patterns include a dog, pig, cow, chicken, goat, mallard duck and a fluffy Highland cow, each standing at around 41.9 cm tall.

Written in US crochet terminology, it suits advanced beginners ready to move into amigurumi after mastering chains and single crochet stitches.
