It is a truly beautiful book - the patterns are amazing and clothes really do suit ‘their’ animal !! HOWEVER some of the instructions and abbreviations are mind - boggling !! My friend and I have over 150 years of knitting experience between us - we both started knitting at a very young age - 4 and 7 respectively - and some of the instructions and in particular abbreviations - have left us totally mystified !!! Heaven help the inexperienced knitter who attempts these dear animals !! However in spite of the above comments - we have persevered and used our knowledge - and thoroughly love the finished animals ! I have orders for about 6 already for Christmas presents !!!

Having had the first book of the knitted doll I was disappointed to find that the clothes were difficult to knit. They needed circular needles or 4 needles very fiddly with such small garments unlike the easy patterns in her other book.

Very lovely book. Not so easy to get the wool. When I manage to get the wool, I will write another review when I get the wool and can actually knit the very nice mouse.

These are lovely animals the clothes fit all so that you can mix and match. The book is full of colour photos and the patterns look workable I cant wait to get started.

This is a beautiful book but the patterns are quite difficult.. mostly garments are knitted from the top down and either on 4 double pointed needles or circular. You can adapt to 2 needles but remember to purl alternate rows and reverse shaping if needed. I haven't tried any of the animals yet. Book is only suitable for a confident knitter.
