Ira Rott's bestselling books Crochet Animal Rugs and Crochet Animal
Slippers have proven her to be a first-rate designer - and this new
collection will allow you to pair your favourite rugs and slippers with
matching blankets too!
The book features 16 main animal block designs for a Panda, Cat, Dog,
Fox, Raccoon, Penguin, Pig, Sheep, Koala, Sloth, Lion, Hippo, Cow,
Unicorn, Bunny, and Monkey - plus additional ideas for using different
parts of the patterns to create some new animals such as a Bear (made
using parts from the Sloth, Bunny and Lion) and a Horse (made from
Unicorn, Bunny and Panda). Many of the designs feature 3D elements
including ears, hair, flowers, and bows, which give the blankets a
lovely tactile quality.
The blocks can be pieces together and left with no border, or
instructions are included to add a Granny Square border or a fancier
lace shells border - making a huge range of possibilities for different
blanket designs.
Featuring in-depth advice on all the crochet techniques and making-up
techniques, this comprehensive guide is beginner friendly and so much
fun.
