Knit your farmyard! You can make anything from a farmer and children
to a horse, cow, pig and sheep, as well as a vegetable garden to sustain
them, along with a country cottage, a barn and a pony and trap. All
items are beautifully designed and exquisitely made, with some
wonderfully quirky twists.
This gorgeous book brings you irresistible knits for knitters of all
abilities. Containing more than 40 fun, simple knitting patterns for a
range of cute and cuddly farmyard animals, you can also make them fields
to live in, a barn to shelter in, and some farmers to look after them
with their own country cottage!
Choose from all your farmyard favorites such as cows, sheep, pigs,
donkeys and horses along with chickens, ducks, pheasants and crows. Many
of the patterns require only small amounts of readily available yarn.
The book also contains a useful techniques section with step-by-step
instructions for the necessary techniques, including stuffing and sewing
up figures, creating tails and manes, and the embroidery stitches needed
to create the facial features and details.
The patterns are aimed at knitters of all levels, with techniques
ranging from easy basic stitches to more decorative ideas. All of the
projects are accompanied by a clear, easy-to-follow pattern and fun
photography, and there are some basic techniques at the start of the
book, including making up, stuffing and some simple surface stitching.
Some of the projects are based on the same basic pattern, and these are
included at the beginning of the book. There are at least 40 items to
make, some as large as a barn and a cottage, and some as tiny as a
cauliflower or sweetcorn.
