Knitted Forest Friends brings you 20 adorable animals to make, and each one has its own outfit to wear. Choose anyone from the Giant Panda down to the little Ant, with all sizes of animals in between. They come from forests around the world, so you will find a Koala, an Orang-Utan and a Wolf alongside more familiar UK dwellers such as a Badger, a Squirrel and a Hedgehog. Each one has dungarees, a pinafore dress or trousers designed to fit him or her exactly, and in some cases there is more than one outfit to choose from.
favourite makes include Mr and Mrs Wild Boar, because of their cute tusks; the Cuckoo in his striped dungarees and the sweet little Mouse, who has a long plaited tail. The book includes a techniques section with diagrams, making it suitable for beginners as well as experienced toy knitters, and is perfect for gifts, yarn bombing inspiration and much more. * Knitting magazine *
