Who can resist a cute and cuddly critter? Woodland creatures make an adorable addition to anyone’s collection of pals, whether you craft them for a friend or keep them for yourself! We’ve looked at some of our favourites, but be warned… you might just want to make every single one of them!
Backyard Bandits
Fuzzy Mitten’s terrific trio are full of personality thanks to their quirky bandannas and cheeky faces. The pattern even comes with instructions to make a knitted roast chicken, so your new friends never need to go hungry!
Brompton Badger
This little fellow looks as if he’s all ready to start his first day at school! Designed and made by toy extraordinaire Amanda Berry, why not make one for a little one who’s just started their own adventures in the big wide world?
Squirrel Mittens
These sweet little mitts will not only keep your hands nice and warm, but they will also keep you smiling for the whole of winter! You can find them in the book Knitting Smitten by Jessica Biscoe – or you can get the pattern in the December issue of Let’s Knit, on sale 21st November!
Boy and Girl Foxes
These fabulous foxes by Julie Williams at Little Cotton Rabbits are a loveable duo that would make a great gift for any boy or girl. They even come with their very own outfits! How about going all out and knitting them their very own wardrobe?
Heidi Hedgehog
If crochet is more your thing, try this free pattern for Heidi Hedgehog. Designed by Janet at Yellow, Pink and Sparkly, she’s made using a fluffy eyelash yarn, making this little lady a soft and fluffy alternative to the usual prickly spikes of her real-life counterparts!
