Discover the creatures of the wild outdoors!

Through the eyes of our naturalist knitter, you'll discover a world of interesting creatures. Inside, you'll find her sketches of animals in their habitat, scientific notes, and her knitting patterns that capture the unique personality of each animal. The easy-to-follow instructions show you how to knit a total of 25 endearing animals, including a hedgehog, timberwolf, rainbow trout, red squirrel, rabbit, beaver, badger, meadowlark, bald eagle, and many more. Each one is portrayed realistically, and yet exudes it's own special cuteness that you find in live wildlife. Grab your needles and yarn, and cast on your favorite!

Industry Reviews

Designer Kellner (Knits for Kitties) blends nature guide with knitting know-how in this fun collection of stuffed animal knits for seasoned crafters. "Animals make our world a better, more beautiful place to live in," the author writes, and her 25 projects highlight common creatures along with "some you'll probably never get a chance to see in real life." There's a pale green speckled rainbow trout, a vibrant red squirrel (and its more common counterpart, the eastern gray squirrel), a mallard duck with spot-on details down to the webbed feet, a black-headed bunting's nest complete with eggs, and a timber wolf in a howling position. Each project comes with a sketch of the subject and naturalist notes, in which readers learn, for example, that baby elephants lose their first set of teeth and tusks "just like humans," wood pigeons store food in a pouch on their chest, and western meadowlarks tend to build their nests on the ground. Newbies should be advised that the training wheels are off here; the instructions are detailed and Kellner jumps straight into the projects without offering a tutorial on basic techniques. Knitting pros with a penchant for the wild will find this a treat.
