Louise’s attention to detail means that every outfit fits perfectly and you will enjoy creating all the details that make each one so distinctive. There are so many possibilities for animal and outfit changes so that you can make the perfect doll for the cheeky monkeys in your life.Louise also explains how to follow charts for the colourwork details in the outifts, as well as step-by-step tutorials for any special stitches. EG: after having cast off a number of stitches within a row, the instructions sometimes mention that you continue to knit INCLUDING the last stich left from the cast-off block, but in others this isn't clarified so there is a bit of counting involved.

Unable to find any knitting patterns for toys that really appealed to me, I decided to have a go at creating my own; and so began the next chapter of my design career. The animals all have the same basic body, with a few colour variations and tail additions, so the clothes can be mixed and matched between them to create endless outfit possibilities. The animal dolls all have the same basic body shape and size so that all of the outfits are interchangeable (they also work for the dolls in Knitted Animal Friends too), so you can mix and match your favourites. After the success of Knitted Animal Friends , Louise has created knitting patterns for 12 new, wild animals including a zebra, elephant, lion, tiger, chimpanzee, sloth, koala, bear, hippopotamus, panda, giraffe and even a rhinoceros - all with their own distinct personal style! Whether you love Charlie the Chimpanzee's casual outfit of rainbow striped cardigan, shorts and sneakers, or Sophie the Tiger's more formal pink ruffle dress which is perfect for a birthday celebration, there is a something for everyone.To calculate the overall star rating and percentage breakdown by star, we don’t use a simple average.
