I haven't actually made anything from this book, but I have read it cover to cover several times. I love looking at all the animals and people that can be created with yarn. The patterns look straight forward and doable. Once my son is older I will give them a try. :)

Collection of patterns to knit a wide variety of animals, plus people in different costumes. Some of the patterns are not as sophisticated as I would like, but they are all adorable. Most are rated easy or suitable for beginners.
