LIBRARY JOURNAL, Oct 2023Expert knitter Ishii (All-New Twenty To Make: Flowers To Knit) is known for her tiny knitted designs for things like ocean animals and Christmas toys. This book contains patterns for 20 knitted animals, including lions, elephants, zebras, meerkats, and crocodiles. The book begins with a list of required materials and tools (yarn, needles, crochet hooks, stuffing) and a quick lesson on how to knit that’s geared to more experienced knitters; readers new to the craft will want to consult other works for additional guidance. A chart explains abbreviations, and detailed photographs illustrate how to sew and stuff the projects. There are instructions for making an I-cord, a tail, a mane, and other embellishments. Several of the striped animals (zebras and tigers) require embroidery on the finished creation. Inexperienced knitters may want to work their way up to the more advanced patterns, such as the ones for a gazelle and a monkey. Ishii assures readers the patterns are easy to make, but it takes some finesse to knit with small double-pointed needles and little bits of yarn.VERDICT A delightful book for readers looking to expand their knitting repertoires to small toys.
