Get ready to spend some time with a suave high-flying rhino, a lovesick elephant who knows her way around a kitchen and a seriously chivalrous tiger... in a new and updated edition of this crochet classic!
With just two weeks to go before baby Edward's due date, yarn enthusiast and mum-to-be Kerry Lord picked up a crochet hook for the first time, and a new obsession began. Over the next 12 months, the collection of crochet animals expanded week by week until Edward's Menagerie was complete, and the first edition was published in 2014.
Ten years on, the book has sold over a quarter of a million copies. At the same time, the collection has expanded and improved, prompting a new edition featuring fully updated patterns and a selection of brand new animals.
These adorable animals with larger-than-life personalities are crafted using simple crochet techniques, and the step-by-step instructions enable even a complete beginner to get started straight away. Each animal also features a universal pattern that allows you to change your hook and yarn to create four different sizes, resulting in 200 distinct possibilities.
Each animal also has an accompanying video tutoria,l which can be accessed by scanning a QR code in the book. Be warned that these unlikely characters made using a super-soft yarn in a sumptuous natural colour palette will become your new best friends as you hook your way through the whole menagerie!
