Debbie Bliss, author of the enormously popular "Baby Knits," "New Baby Knits," and" Kids' Country Knits," presents instructions for more than 30 irresistible soft toys-- from pigs to cuddly teddy... This description may be from another edition of this product.
When I first purchased this book I thought it was rather expensive but since receiving it I have more than had my money's worth already. My friend has just retired from work and his hobby is farming so he was absolutely delighted when I presented him with the knitted cow. My friend has many niece's to buy for at Christmas so I've knitted her a piglet, a rabbit and a sheep - she too was really pleased with them. My daughter's baby is due any time and as she does not know if it is a boy or girl I have already knitted a few animals for her to choose from when baby is born. I will be knitting all the animals after Christmas so my grandchildren can play with them whilst learning the name of each of them. Thanks very much for a brilliant book.
Love the Ballerina Rabbit

I have just finished the ballerina rabbit for my little ballerina's 6th birthday. It came out excellent, and only took a few evenings to make. I substituted yarns with no problem and added buttonholes for buttons because I don't like the ties. Next project from this book will be the dalmation, changed to blue with white spots. It looks like it will tuck very neatly into my 3-yr-old son's arms. A tip: try using leftover matching yarn to stuff knitted animals; that way you won't have to worry about any white stuffing showing through.
quick!

In one weekend I put together a gorgeous little rabbit, and have half finished the monkey (can't wait to see him finished). These patterns are really simple, and a lot of fun. Can't wait to try more!
A must for a first or second childhood knitter!

Debbie Bliss collects toys and books from the first half of the twentieth century to inspire but not limit her knitting patterns. Multicultural rag dolls and sly pirate rats share the pages with the expected teddies. Clear pictures and instructions, as always.
