Knitted Wild Animals

This book is wonderful, instructions are easy to follow from the beginning to making up! The photographs show so many animals, I have started the monkey, who even has a knitted banana! 🐵 Honestly, if you buy it, you will not be disappointed.

It's a lovely book. The patterns work out very cheaply. They are lovely. I have knitted the monkey and he was easy to knit

Great little pattern book plenty of patterns to choose from

This book contains patterns for 15 wild animals, an elephant, giraffe, zebra, lion, tiger, giant panda, monkey, snakes, hippo, crocodile, rhino, warthog, koala, moose and penguin. The design of the book is lovely - the illustrations are great, and there are some really charming facts about the animals interspersed in the pattern area. I confess I'm not entirely convinced by the patterns for the giraffe and zebra, but the elephant, monkey, panda bear, warthog, crocodile, koala and moose are all fabulous, with an endearing charm that will make them firm favourites with children. The patterns aren't difficult, there is a guide to how to knit, a glossary of terms, and how to do the stitches used. I did feel that by not using the conventional Row 1, row 2 etc... that the patterns themselves might be a little confusing for a beginner, but that's a minor niggle. The patterns all use DK wool (an acrylic is recommended), with 3.25mm needles, and would be perfect for using up stash. Tension square details are given, but we are assured that the tension for stuffed toys isn't critical, as long as the same type of yarn is used throughout. This is the first book by Sarah Keen, and it shows both a distinctive style, and a great deal of promise. This is definitely one of the books worth getting.

Book was as described - used. In good condition and just what I was looking for.

My knitting partner and I are keen (possibly obsessive!) knitters of toys, particularly animals, and have most of the books and patterns available from the past 30 years or so. From this book we have so far made the moose, crocodile, monkey, lion and elephant, and have found the designs to be some of the best we've come across. The shapes are very pleasing and manage to embody the essence of each animal. The instructions are mostly clear and straightforward, and the photographs are very helpful for showing how the parts are assembled. The finished toys definitely have the "cute" factor.

I love these cute animals.. I am a beginner with knitting, and wanted some patterns to learn how to make something other than scarves and beanies. Good quality pages, book, patterns.. easy to follow. If I don't understand something I google or youtube it.

This is a marvelous knitting book in the collection of knitting animals from knitting lions monkeys elephants giraffes and other species that live in the outback and Africa easy to dict and fantastic to stuff with this book was purchased as another Christmas present for my mother who is already knitting a lion for her grandson

Lovely book of knitting patterns. The photographs and layout are absolutely charming. I have completed one of the animals (a moose) and found the instructions clear and easy to follow. There was a typo in one section about which colour yarn to use first, so be sure to use a little logic to make sure everything makes sense. I'm an experienced knitter, and I don't think I'd suggest these patterns for complete beginners but they are perfect for those with at least some basic knowledge of stitches and shaping.

Lovely easy to follow patterns. Value for $ and great customer service.

Le immagini sono stupende, le spiegazioni per le varie parti degli animaletti sono complete, invece per le rifiniture sono un po' scarse. Diversamente dalle istruzioni, ho realizzato le zampe e coda con ferri circolari per avere meno cuciture.

One day I might have a zoo, but at the moment I have a purple elephant! I love this book & variety of patterns. The pattern instructions are well done & easy to follow.

thank-u so much it came month early can't wait to start knitting these and i know my grand kids will be pleased lol
