I wanted small animals to play with.
The back cover states the book has patterns for more than 50 animals to be knit in two sizes: that is not true. All the animals are huge. I could see knitting one. Even the pictures of the animals on the cover give the appearance of being a series of small animals children could use for imaginative play. There a couple of small animals, but even the babies in this book are all large stuffed animals. The statement on the back is essentially false, and I am very disappointed. I know lots and lots of people who would have been interested in this many patterns for small (a few inches) animals.
Penguin!
Some excellent patterns here, like the penguin and the sea turtle. I've also made the parrot, and they all turned out well. There are plenty more I would like to make, like the dolphin and the brown bear.
love it!
These little animals are nicely detailed and I was able to make two of the 'easy' ones plus one of the 'straightforward' ones without much problem, even though I just began knitting a week ago. This book is very well written. There are basic instructions at the beginning and then detailed instructions for each animal. Her instructions are thorough. I would not have believed that I could take on a project like this but the author's clear explanations and beautiful photos are all you need. It is so fun to be able to work on these toys for my little one. I love that she can see how it's made and how much work it takes, much more satisfying than just buying a premade toy.
