Reviews for Adorable Knitted Animals: Cuddly Critters to Knit the Japanese Way (25 Different Toy Animals)

A wide range of techniques, stitches, and finishes ensures that each creature is unique and true to its real-world counterpart. With options for articulation and weights included, these are more than the average stuffed animals. --Booklist This book is appropriate for knitters experienced in making various types of stitches and following charts, and for crafters with good fine motor skills for assembling the animals. Each creature is a work of art and would be well worth the effort to create. --Library Journal
