5.0 out of 5 stars unusual toys January 8, 2007
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
I buy lots of toy books and this one is really special as it has such unusual ones. Most of the yarns are Rowan dk so really you can use almost any worsted yarn in acrylic or wool or mixed. The snake is very colorful but so is the turtle which is not often made. There are some cute boy and girl dolls, a 24" cheeky monkey with very long legs and arms. There's even a robot. I'm not sure about the snappy crocodile (kind of scary), but the little mice and the big elephant are delightful. Other items are:

fairy, cat, cow, chick, pig, finger puppets, flat ted, big foot bunny,

dog, dinosaur, butterfly, owl, ball, fish on the line. Pictures are also good as you can see how the children relate to the toys.

1.0 out of 5 stars Not for the novice October 12, 2007
By jdv
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
After reading the previous reviews on this book I was looking forward to a book with easy to follow instructions. However, there is very little detail and the wording is sometimes hard to understand. I would certainly not recommend this book for someone just starting out.

5.0 out of 5 stars The cutest knit toys ever! December 9, 2006
Format:Paperback
I'm completely addicted to Zoe Mellor's designs as it is, but when I saw this book was coming out, I had to have it! I only received my copy a few weeks ago but I've already made two of the toys. The patterns are just adorable! I made the dinosaur as a baby shower gift and the mom-to-be loved it! It's great to be able to mix and match my leftover skeins in such creative and fun ways. My three year old has already poured over the pictures and picked out her rather long wish list of knitted toys she simply cannot live without! So quick and easy to make, not to mention economical if your yarn budget is limited! And absolutely ADORABLE!!!

I purchased this for a friend who is learning to knit and has grandkids. She looked through it and said she isn't that good yet but once she is, she will try to make some.

4.0 out of 5 stars Knitted Toys
Loved the selection of toys. Very cute and fun. A lot of the patterns used needle sizes that were hard to find in my area. Sizes 6 and 3. Otherwise good find.
