Discover the creatures of the wild outdoors! Through the eyes of our naturalist knitter, you'll discover a world of interesting creatures. Inside, you'll find her sketches of animals in their habitat, scientific notes, and her knitting patterns that capture the unique personality of each animal. The easy-to-follow instructions show you how to knit a total of 25 endearing animals, including a hedgehog, timber wolf, rainbow trout, red squirrel, rabbit, badger, meadowlark, bald eagle, and many more. Each one is portrayed realistically, and yet exudes it's own special cuteness that you find in live wildlife. Grab your needles and yarn, and cast on your favorite!
