Using simple crochet intarsia and applique techniques you can stitch one block for a pillow front, book bag or toy bag, join four for a lap throw, nine for a child's blanket or sixteen for an adult blanket. Mix and match colors to create fun single animal-themed blankets, or mix them up for quirky multi-animal designs. There are so many variations the only limit is your imagination.

Ira Rott's bestselling books Crochet Animal Rugs and Crochet Animal Slippers have proven her to be a first-rate designer ; and this new collection will allow you to pair your favourite rugs and slippers with matching blankets too!

The book features 16 main animal block designs for a Panda, Cat, Dog, Fox, Raccoon, Penguin, Pig, Sheep, Koala, Sloth, Lion, Hippo, Cow, Unicorn, Bunny, and Monkey ; plus additional ideas for using different parts of the patterns to create some new animals such as a Bear (made using parts from the Sloth, Bunny and Lion) and a Horse (made from Unicorn, Bunny and Panda). Many of the designs feature 3D elements including ears, hair, flowers, and bows, which give the blankets a lovely tactile quality.

The blocks can be pieces together and left with no border, or instructions are included to add a Granny Square border or a fancier lace shells border ; making a huge range of possibilities for different blanket designs.

Featuring in-depth advice on all the crochet techniques and making-up techniques, this comprehensive guide is beginner friendly and so much fun.

Hello and welcome to the world of crochet animals! Get your yarn and hooks ready to dive into your happy place, making fun crochet projects for your family and friends.

This book features 18 animal blocks with fun 3D elements. You can incorporate them into several different projects, such as blankets, cushion covers, a toy storage bag, or a book bag and backpack. You can even use each block individually as a wall hanging or a doll blanket.

To inspire imagination, you can mix and match elements from different animal blocks, creating your own animal variations. For example, make a Horse using Unicorn, Bunny and Dog, or make a Bear using Sloth, Bunny and Lion (see Additional Ideas).

Finish a blanket using your favorite animal design or combine different blocks to make your projects fun and colorful. For a woodland theme, use the Fox, Raccoon, Bunny and Bear blocks. For a farm blanket, use the Pig, Cow, Sheep, Cat and Horse. Turn your room into a jungle with a cheerful blanket made from the Hippo, Monkey and Lion blocks. While the possibilities are endless, you may want to make 16 different animals and join them into a large 4 x 4 blocks blanket.

If you are not familiar with the stitches or techniques used in this book, be sure to check the Techniques section when you work on your projects. I've included many tips and tricks along the way as well. Be happy and keep crafting!
