Knitted Wild Animal Friends

A collection of adorable knitted stuffed animals and their clothes and accessories by bestselling author Louise Crowther.

After the success of Knitted Animal Friends, Louise Crowther has created knitting patterns for twelve new, wild animals with their own wonderful wardrobes. This collection includes 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 pajamas (of course!), a koala in a furry vest, a bear in a fair isle sweater, a hippo in overalls, a panda in a duffle coat, a giraffe in a pinafore dress and a rhinoceros in a day dress—all with their own distinct personal style!

Louise’s attention to detail means that every outfit fits perfectly and you will enjoy creating all the details that make each one so distinctive. There are instructions for how to construct the animal dolls and outfits as well as step-by-step photography for the techniques. Louise also explains how to follow charts for the color work details in the outfits, as well as step-by-step tutorials for any special stitches.

The animal dolls have the same basic body shape and are the same size so that all of the outfits are interchangeable (they also work for the dolls in Knitted Animal Friends too), so you can mix and match your favorites. All of the techniques for making up the animals include step-by-step instructions and photography.

There are so many possibilities for animal dolls and outfits so that you can make the perfect doll for the children in your life.
