Mouche & Friends

Mouche & Friends includes patterns for Mouche the bear and 11 of his knitted friends, their outfits and accessories, as well as charming stories that bring the characters to life. Mouche & Friends is a combination of a knitting book and a childrens storybook, as maker Cinthia Valley brings adorable creatures to life with seamless knitting. The readers are taken through the techniques step-by-step with clear, illustrated tutorials, making knitting easy and enjoyable. She also shares her tips on working small circumferences, picking yarns and preparing a toolbox for toy-making. Cinthias toy-making process is unique and totally seamless, which ensures a flowing knitting experience. The animals are knitted with natural fibres and worked in the round, starting from the nose and knitting down to the feet growing a toy rather than building it.
