All the animals have easy-to-follow patterns, and this book also features detailed techniques, abbreviations and knitting conversions – allowing you to create with confidence.
Projects include lion, tiger, elephant, rhino, zebra, gorilla, anteater, vulture, hippo, warthog, crocodile.
The latest adorable collection of knitted toys from Sarah Keen takes you on a magical trip through jungles and deserts where you can find all your favourite safari friends. As well as likely characters such as hippos, lions, elephants and monkeys, you can also find patterns to craft anteaters, weaver birds, sloths, meerkats and more. Each animal has a lovely expressive, embroidered face and wears a cute pinafore dress, dungarees or shorts with braces.
Although these toys are accessible to knitters at any level – and there is a comprehensive techniques section at the back for anything you’re not sure about – there is plenty of knitterly interest to be found. Learn how to make the lion’s bushy, loopy mane; the antelope’s twisty horns and the weaver bird’s stripy wings.
