Mouche & Friends

Mouche & Friends

Cinthia Vallet’s collection includes 12 knitted toy animals, plus clothes and accessories for them. The animals are worked seamlessly in the round with natural-fiber yarn, beginning at the nose and continuing to the feet. Illustrated tutorials explain the techniques, with advice on knitting small circumferences, choosing yarn and assembling a toy-making toolkit. Short stories introduce the characters, including Mouche the Bear, Henri the Orangutan, Agi the Sheep and Billie the Raccoon.
