Knitted Wild Animal Friends - Louise Crowther

From best-selling author Louise Crowther, Knitted Wild Animal Friends is a paperback pattern collection for creating knitted wild animal dolls, along with their clothes and accessories. Following the success of Knitted Animal Friends, this book introduces 12 new animals, each with its own wardrobe: a zebra in dungarees, an elephant in a tutu, a lion in jeans, a tiger in a party dress, a chimpanzee in a rainbow cardigan, a sloth in pyjamas, a koala in a furry gilet, a bear in a Fair Isle sweater, a hippo in overalls, a panda in a duffle coat, a giraffe in a pinafore and a rhinoceros in a day dress.

Clear instructions cover how to construct both the animal dolls and their outfits, supported by step-by-step photography for the techniques used to make up the animals. Louise also explains how to follow charts for colourwork details and includes step-by-step tutorials for any special stitches. All dolls share the same basic body shape and size, making outfits interchangeable across the collection, with compatibility noted for the dolls in Knitted Animal Friends too—ideal for mixing and matching favourites or focusing on the animals alone.
