What you need to know

Create six more small-as-can-be animals with Sachiyo Ishii's super-simple knitting patterns.

Our tiny knitted friends are back, this time sporting little jumpers! Each one comes with its own mini
blanket and pillow, with a sweet cherry cupcake to complete their cosy set-up. Packed with charm and
personality, these pint-sized pals are small enough to fit in a matchbox but big on fun. If you haven't downloaded part one yet, don't worry – you can find it here.
