Knit Foxy and Friends: Beginner-friendly knitting patterns for 6 stylish animals and 50 accessories

Knit Foxy and Friends: Beginner-friendly knitting patterns for 6 stylish animals and 50 accessories is a pattern collection centred on Foxy, an urban fox, and five companions: Lolly the Cat, Sasha the Dog, Banjo the Bear, Rodney the Raccoon and Echo the Arctic Fox. The projects invite you to knit each character alongside a wardrobe of clothes and a range of accessories.

Patterns are provided in written form, with simple charts included where needed. Step-by-step instructions and artwork explain the techniques and stitches used throughout. All six animals are built from the same body shape, with character changes made through different heads and tails. Each project is knitted flat in garter stitch (knit stitch) before being sewn together.
