Magical
Wo o d l a nd K n its
by Claire Garland
Wonderfully lifelike animals and birds fill the
pages of Claire Garland’s forthcoming pattern
book, Magical Woodland Knits. Her incredibly
lifelike creations are like knitted works of art,
and will delight anyone who loves wildlife.
Claire’s book contains 12 designs, including
patterns for an owl, a roe deer fawn, a badger,
a field mouse, a mallard duck, a blue tit,
a wolf, and a characterful pheasant. Each
projects is accompanied by Claire’s nature
sketches and evocative photography.
There are very detailed, step-by-step
instructions for each project, illustrated with
how-to photographs to help you assemble
each creature. Projects involve combining
different coloured and textured yarns for a
more realistic effect, and because each
creature is relatively small, you could use up
odd balls of yarn from your stash. These
creatures will make wonderful gifts for nature
lovers, although they’re not intended as toys.
The book will be published by David &
Charles on 29 May in the UK, and costs £16.99.
