The 25 knitted miniature animals in this project book are much easier to look after than the real things–they don’t need feeding, they won’t make a mess, and they take up hardly any room. In this zoological tour of the globe, you’ll find patterns for a tiger, a crocodile, a penguin, a cheetah, an anteater, a ring-tailed lemur, a camel, a giraffe, a panda, and a kangaroo. There is something here for everyone, with instructions for knitting spots, stripes, fur, scales, trunks, wings, and beaks, and it will only take a few evenings to create yourself an exotic pet or reproduce your favorite mammal. Entertaining descriptions of the various species accompany beautiful photography, making this book irresistible for both keen knitters and wildlife enthusiasts.
