Knitted Farm Animals

Farm animals are great for acting out stories, engaging young children or for added entertainment during musical renditions of well-known nursery rhymes. Knitted Farm Animals contains a fabulous range of adorable animals, each with its own distinct and humorous character. This attractive collection of original designs created with strong contemporary colours and durable, child-friendly yarn is simply a must for those looking to create their own range of furry farmyard friends.


New knitters need not worry, all of the 15 patterns are clearly laid out alongside a comprehensive techniques section covering all the necessary know-how. There is also a beautiful photographic gallery showcasing each animal. So, choose your favourite farm animal and pick up those knitting needles, or why not go the whole hog and create an entire farmyard.


Projects include: Rooster, Horse, Sheepdog, Cat, Highland Bull, Llama, Hen, Chicks and Eggs, Ram, Donkey, Goat, Cow, Ewe, Turkey, Pig, Duck and Ducklings
