IntroductionWe all have memories of wonderful holidays and exciting
places we have visited I have particularly fond and exciting
memories of visiting London Zoo when I was young While
walking around the zoo I created little stories about the
different animals and imagined what their lives were like
and which other creatures they were friends with
This collection of sweet little knitted animals brings
out the child in all of us Creating beautiful toys out
of yarn can remind you of special places and creatures
and can be enjoyed for many years to come
Each toy animal in this book has its own unique character and all the animals
are linked by Explorer Edrsquos travels around the world In every country he
visits he meets a new animal each with a different story to tell
There are projects in this book for everyone to enjoy knitting from beginners
to more advanced knitters If you are a beginner I would advise you to start
with a simple project that is small easy and quick to knit There is nothing
more satisfying than knitting a fi nished piece in an hour or two Once you
have mastered the techniques you can move on to make any animal Donrsquot be
scared I promise that there isnrsquot a single animal that is too hard to knit
I am not a fan of knitting lots of components and then sewing them together
afterwards I like to see a toy develop as it is being knitted So I have
developed all the patterns with shaping that creates three-dimensional shapes
The different parts and colours are introduced while you knit

Edward knew that on his travels he would be visiting countries that
were very hot like Australia and Africa He also knew that he would
need to have some lightweight clothes for these places like these
shorts and matching jacket You can change the colour of the
clothes to give Edward a whole new wardrobe And you can lengthen
the shorts to make the trousers for when he explores the Arctic

Ed the Explorer has a warm winter coat for his travels to chilly places
like the Arctic He also has a cosy hat and scarf He even packed some
mittens so that his hands wouldnrsquot get cold Edward can be a bit clumsyat times so he tied the mittens on elastic so he didnrsquot loose them You
certainly donrsquot want to get cold hands in the Arctic I used a thick fl uffy
yarn to make the warm winter coat and added poppers so that it can
removed easily The hat and mittens use a much thinner yarn and could
be knitted in any colour you like Be creative and make them as bright as
you canhellip After all Ed the Explorer likes to make everyone laugh

Practise two-colour intarsia so the face and tummy will give you no problems
Monkey Mike is a natural exhibitionist so he puts on an astoundingly
acrobatic show in his native Brazil His antics are sure to be loved by all and
hersquos very affectionate when hersquos not monkeying around
Once you have mastered the colour changes for Mikersquos head and body the
rest of him will come together easily Then you can have fun choosing some
jolly fabric for Mikersquos feet and ears to bring out his cheeky character

TechniquesI want all knitters to be able to experience the fun and pleasure of making
their own special knitted toys so Irsquove included projects simple enough for
beginners and more ambitious projects for knitters ready for more of a challenge
If you are just learning or you need to brush up your skills Irsquove included
basic techniques such as casting on making the knit and purl stitches and
binding off All of the toys require shaping of some sort and I have included
the methods I use for increasing and decreasing Quite a few of the toys
also feature colourwork so knitting stripes and the intarsia and Fair Isletechniques are described Making up the toys and embellishing them with
their 1047297nishing touches will make all the difference to how your toys turn out
Take care over these details and yoursquoll have toys to treasure for a lifetime

IntroductionWe all have memories of wonderful holidays and exciting
places we have visited I have particularly fond and exciting
memories of visiting London Zoo when I was young While
walking around the zoo I created little stories about the
different animals and imagined what their lives were like
and which other creatures they were friends with
This collection of sweet little knitted animals brings
out the child in all of us Creating beautiful toys out
of yarn can remind you of special places and creatures
and can be enjoyed for many years to come
Each toy animal in this book has its own unique character and all the animals
are linked by Explorer Edrsquos travels around the world In every country he
visits he meets a new animal each with a different story to tell
There are projects in this book for everyone to enjoy knitting from beginners
to more advanced knitters If you are a beginner I would advise you to start
with a simple project that is small easy and quick to knit There is nothing
more satisfying than knitting a fi nished piece in an hour or two Once you
have mastered the techniques you can move on to make any animal Donrsquot be
scared I promise that there isnrsquot a single animal that is too hard to knit
I am not a fan of knitting lots of components and then sewing them together
afterwards I like to see a toy develop as it is being knitted So I have
developed all the patterns with shaping that creates three-dimensional shapes
The different parts and colours are introduced while you knit

Edward knew that on his travels he would be visiting countries that
were very hot like Australia and Africa He also knew that he would
need to have some lightweight clothes for these places like these
shorts and matching jacket You can change the colour of the
clothes to give Edward a whole new wardrobe And you can lengthen
the shorts to make the trousers for when he explores the Arctic

Ed the Explorer has a warm winter coat for his travels to chilly places
like the Arctic He also has a cosy hat and scarf He even packed some
mittens so that his hands wouldnrsquot get cold Edward can be a bit clumsyat times so he tied the mittens on elastic so he didnrsquot loose them You
certainly donrsquot want to get cold hands in the Arctic I used a thick fl uffy
yarn to make the warm winter coat and added poppers so that it can
removed easily The hat and mittens use a much thinner yarn and could
be knitted in any colour you like Be creative and make them as bright as
you canhellip After all Ed the Explorer likes to make everyone laugh

Practise two-colour intarsia so the face and tummy will give you no problems
Monkey Mike is a natural exhibitionist so he puts on an astoundingly
acrobatic show in his native Brazil His antics are sure to be loved by all and
hersquos very affectionate when hersquos not monkeying around
Once you have mastered the colour changes for Mikersquos head and body the
rest of him will come together easily Then you can have fun choosing some
jolly fabric for Mikersquos feet and ears to bring out his cheeky character

Practise two-colour intarsia so the face and tummy will give you no problems
Monkey Mike is a natural exhibitionist so he puts on an astoundingly
acrobatic show in his native Brazil His antics are sure to be loved by all and
hersquos very affectionate when hersquos not monkeying around
Once you have mastered the colour changes for Mikersquos head and body the
rest of him will come together easily Then you can have fun choosing some
jolly fabric for Mikersquos feet and ears to bring out his cheeky character

TechniquesI want all knitters to be able to experience the fun and pleasure of making
their own special knitted toys so Irsquove included projects simple enough for
beginners and more ambitious projects for knitters ready for more of a challenge
If you are just learning or you need to brush up your skills Irsquove included
basic techniques such as casting on making the knit and purl stitches and
binding off All of the toys require shaping of some sort and I have included
the methods I use for increasing and decreasing Quite a few of the toys
also feature colourwork so knitting stripes and the intarsia and Fair Isletechniques are described Making up the toys and embellishing them with
their 1047297nishing touches will make all the difference to how your toys turn out
Take care over these details and yoursquoll have toys to treasure for a lifetime

IntroductionWe all have memories of wonderful holidays and exciting
places we have visited I have particularly fond and exciting
memories of visiting London Zoo when I was young While
walking around the zoo I created little stories about the
different animals and imagined what their lives were like
and which other creatures they were friends with
This collection of sweet little knitted animals brings
out the child in all of us Creating beautiful toys out
of yarn can remind you of special places and creatures
and can be enjoyed for many years to come
Each toy animal in this book has its own unique character and all the animals
are linked by Explorer Edrsquos travels around the world In every country he
visits he meets a new animal each with a different story to tell
There are projects in this book for everyone to enjoy knitting from beginners
to more advanced knitters If you are a beginner I would advise you to start
with a simple project that is small easy and quick to knit There is nothing
more satisfying than knitting a fi nished piece in an hour or two Once you
have mastered the techniques you can move on to make any animal Donrsquot be
scared I promise that there isnrsquot a single animal that is too hard to knit
I am not a fan of knitting lots of components and then sewing them together
afterwards I like to see a toy develop as it is being knitted So I have
developed all the patterns with shaping that creates three-dimensional shapes
The different parts and colours are introduced while you knit

Edward knew that on his travels he would be visiting countries that
were very hot like Australia and Africa He also knew that he would
need to have some lightweight clothes for these places like these
shorts and matching jacket You can change the colour of the
clothes to give Edward a whole new wardrobe And you can lengthen
the shorts to make the trousers for when he explores the Arctic

Ed the Explorer has a warm winter coat for his travels to chilly places
like the Arctic He also has a cosy hat and scarf He even packed some
mittens so that his hands wouldnrsquot get cold Edward can be a bit clumsyat times so he tied the mittens on elastic so he didnrsquot loose them You
certainly donrsquot want to get cold hands in the Arctic I used a thick fl uffy
yarn to make the warm winter coat and added poppers so that it can
removed easily The hat and mittens use a much thinner yarn and could
be knitted in any colour you like Be creative and make them as bright as
you canhellip After all Ed the Explorer likes to make everyone laugh

you canhellip After all Ed the Explorer likes to make everyone laugh

Edward knew that on his travels he would be visiting countries that
were very hot like Australia and Africa He also knew that he would
need to have some lightweight clothes for these places like these
shorts and matching jacket You can change the colour of the
clothes to give Edward a whole new wardrobe And you can lengthen
the shorts to make the trousers for when he explores the Arctic

Edward knew that on his travels he would be visiting countries that
were very hot like Australia and Africa He also knew that he would
need to have some lightweight clothes for these places like these
shorts and matching jacket You can change the colour of the
clothes to give Edward a whole new wardrobe And you can lengthen
the shorts to make the trousers for when he explores the Arctic

Ed the Explorer has a warm winter coat for his travels to chilly places
like the Arctic He also has a cosy hat and scarf He even packed some
mittens so that his hands wouldnrsquot get cold Edward can be a bit clumsyat times so he tied the mittens on elastic so he didnrsquot loose them You
certainly donrsquot want to get cold hands in the Arctic I used a thick fl uffy
yarn to make the warm winter coat and added poppers so that it can
removed easily The hat and mittens use a much thinner yarn and could
be knitted in any colour you like Be creative and make them as bright as
you canhellip After all Ed the Explorer likes to make everyone laugh

Practise two-colour intarsia so the face and tummy will give you no problems
Monkey Mike is a natural exhibitionist so he puts on an astoundingly
acrobatic show in his native Brazil His antics are sure to be loved by all and
hersquos very affectionate when hersquos not monkeying around
Once you have mastered the colour changes for Mikersquos head and body the
rest of him will come together easily Then you can have fun choosing some
jolly fabric for Mikersquos feet and ears to bring out his cheeky character

TechniquesI want all knitters to be able to experience the fun and pleasure of making
their own special knitted toys so Irsquove included projects simple enough for
beginners and more ambitious projects for knitters ready for more of a challenge
If you are just learning or you need to brush up your skills Irsquove included
basic techniques such as casting on making the knit and purl stitches and
binding off All of the toys require shaping of some sort and I have included
the methods I use for increasing and decreasing Quite a few of the toys
also feature colourwork so knitting stripes and the intarsia and Fair Isletechniques are described Making up the toys and embellishing them with
their 1047297nishing touches will make all the difference to how your toys turn out
Take care over these details and yoursquoll have toys to treasure for a lifetime

Practise two-colour intarsia so the face and tummy will give you no problems
Monkey Mike is a natural exhibitionist so he puts on an astoundingly
acrobatic show in his native Brazil His antics are sure to be loved by all and
hersquos very affectionate when hersquos not monkeying around
Once you have mastered the colour changes for Mikersquos head and body the
rest of him will come together easily Then you can have fun choosing some
jolly fabric for Mikersquos feet and ears to bring out his cheeky character

TechniquesI want all knitters to be able to experience the fun and pleasure of making
their own special knitted toys so Irsquove included projects simple enough for
beginners and more ambitious projects for knitters ready for more of a challenge
If you are just learning or you need to brush up your skills Irsquove included
basic techniques such as casting on making the knit and purl stitches and
binding off All of the toys require shaping of some sort and I have included
the methods I use for increasing and decreasing Quite a few of the toys
also feature colourwork so knitting stripes and the intarsia and Fair Isletechniques are described Making up the toys and embellishing them with
their 1047297nishing touches will make all the difference to how your toys turn out
Take care over these details and yoursquoll have toys to treasure for a lifetime
