Cuddly Animals to Crochet: 28 Cute Toys to Make and Love

This is a book filled with cute and cuddly animals to give your child the 'pet' they have always wanted.

Koalas, tigers and my favourite the turtle are just a few of the amazing designs that stand between 10 and 20 inches high.

The techniques needed are demonstrated and the instructions are simple to follow..although you will need to know how to crochet.

Set into sections, Forest, Farm, Africa, Water etc, these wonderful creatures are perfect for all ages of children. The introduction to the book is lovely and definitely well worth a read.

Beautifully photographed and so much fun, this book is inspiring and I can see no reason why you cannot have a rainbow ostrich or a pink sloth.

Yarn choices are given and UK and US hooks and stitches are indicated.

A gorgeous book and perfect for lovers of animals and crochet.

A lovely book with great projects.

A lovely book with a great selection of animals to crochet. Well illustrated with clear instructions. I think there will be lots of very happy recipients of gorgeous cuddly creatures in our family! Which one to choose to make first though?!!!!

Love this book! 28 clear clear concise patterns. Unlike a lot of books I think I would make every pattern!

It is suitable for both beginners and more experienced crocheters as there are clear diagrams explaining the different stitches at the front of the book as well as instructions for finishing off on each project. I can't actually decide which one I want to make first! I would recommend this book and it would make a perfect gift.

This is a really lovely book. Craft books usually have a few lovely things ( on the cover) but nothing else you would feel inclined to make but not this one, every single pattern is as adorable as the last. I really like that they are in categories of origin and each has a name and cute personality. The patterns are well thought out and easy to follow, along with clear instructions. The techniques used are all displayed clearly. Fab fun photos, highly recommended.

This is a lovely book with 28 delightful, cute cuddly animals to crochet.
It has a 'Techniques' section in the beginning explaining the stitches used in the projects and clear concise patterns with very appealing photographs throughout.

Set in to sections such as Farm, Forest, Africa, Asia Water etc the book features cute colourful animal characters made from soft Merino and Organic Cotton yarns that would make perfect gifts (I can't wait to make some for my Grandchildren and I know they will love them)
Highly recommended

This book is packed full of exciting animals to crochet - each with their own distinctive character and personality. There is a comprehensive list of materials needed for each animal - and I particularly love the little description of each character which really brings them to life. The patterns are well written and easy to follow - although I would recommend this book for crocheters with a bit of experience. Saying that though - there is a clear guide to the stitches at the front of the book - each one described clearly with the addition of a diagram. I really can't make up my mind what I want to make first - as every single project would be a joy to make. I am particularly drawn to Nelly the Hippo, Emily the Sheep and Paul the Sloth though. All in all a brilliant and exciting new book from Lucia Forthmann
