Mouche & Friends

Seamless Toys to Knit and Love

Cinthia Vallet

Description

Mouche & Friends is a delightful collection of 12 knitted toy animals, plus their garments and accessories.

The author’s toy-making process is unique and totally seamless founded in her love for sock knitting: if you can shape a heel, she believes, you can also shape a little creature directly on your needles. All the members of her little menagerie (Mouche the Bear, Henri the Orangutan, Agi the Sheep, Billie the Raccoon and more) are knitted with natural fibres and worked in the round, starting from the nose and knitting down to the feet, using a fascinating process that "grows" the toy rather than building it.

Mouche and Friends is meant for knitters of all kinds and all levels. The author walks her readers through the necessary techniques step-by-step, using clearly illustrated tutorials that make the knitting easy and enjoyable. She also shares tips on working small circumferences, choosing yarns and preparing a toolbox for toy-making.
