This book is designed to help you knit your first animal from scratch and without disappointment.
Using a single principle—knitting in the round with knitting needles and a cord—10 different characters are created. Change the yarn color or ear shape to create a new character.
In the book:
- All about tools: you'll need 2.5 mm and 3.5 mm knitting needles on 80 cm cord. Double-pointed needles are a backup. Daria also explains the use of chopsticks, waste yarn, and yarn markers.
- All about yarn: You'll see the difference between Alize Softy, Himalaya Baby Soft, and Jina Winnie Pooh (115 m per 50 g). You'll be able to calculate yarn consumption. You'll learn how to combine different brands, for example, Alize Softy with "Vyaz" terry yarn in two strands. - All about fillings: Hollow fiber and synthetic fluff, their pros, cons, and key differences.
- Knitting basics from scratch: Casting on stitches using the crossed yarn over method, increases from yarn overs (without holes), and right-slanted decreases. Step-by-step explanations are provided using samples of smooth yarn for easy viewing.
- Signature "hug" technique: Learn how to place thread markers between stitches and keep them in place to shape the muzzle evenly!
- Tightening and embroidery: Learn how to make eye sockets with strong thread so they won't break under tension. How to embroider a nose, mouth, spots on a deer and giraffe, whiskers on a kitten, and even a crochet forelock for a donkey. - Favorite animals: bear, bunny, cat, dog, fox, giraffe, deer, donkey, duckling, dinosaur.
