I've got five different animal patterns now. They are all easy to follow when knitting but making them up instructions need a bit more detail especially the unicorn. My grand children love them all.

This was such a joy to knit. Very clear instructions and not too difficult. However i did find the lack of finished measurements off putting, ie no measurements for how round the head etc should be once stuffed. Apart from that no problems at all.

I loved this little guy the moment I saw him. It was very easy to knit and I love the stitch for the body, gives more texture being a sheep, much better than the usual stocking stitch. I'll be making more of these. Buy it, you'll love it!
