Cool Cat This cat thinks he's pretty cool ... and being knit almost entirely in the round, we think he's pretty cool, too! You only need one skein of feltable wool yarn and size US 8 double-pointed needles to make him come to life. The 6-page pattern includes knitting, felting and embroidering instructions. $2.50	Mice on Holiday Mr. and Mrs. Mouse have finally decided to take a holiday! The two are super quick to knit, then felt up to sturdy, little dolls in your washing machine. The heads and bodies are one piece, knit in the round on size US 8 double-pointed needles. The arms, legs, tails and ears are knit back and forth ... only a few rows for each! The 7-page pattern includes knitting, felting and embroidering instructions. Why not take this pattern along on your holiday! $5.00	"For you, my love ..."
Garden Rabbits Meet the Tapestry Rabbit and The Topiary Rabbit! These little bunnies are definitely not your everyday, garden-variety rabbits! But they certainly bring a little of the outdoors inside, no matter what the weather! Both are knit completely in the round (including their ears!) from bottom to top. There's nothing to sew, except to close up the hole on the bottom after felting and stuffing! You'll only need one skein of worsted-weight wool yarn and size US 8 double-pointed needles to knit the Tapestry Rabbit. Hold a strand of novelty yarn along with the wool to knit the Topiary Rabbit. Finished size for the Tapestry Rabbit is approximately 7 inches tall after felting. The Topiary Rabbit is a little bigger all around. The 6-page pattern includes directions for knitting, felting and finishing. $2.50	Giraffe Pattern You only need one 223-yard skein of wool yarn and oddments of a chunkier yarn (like Cascade 128) to make this giraffe. First knitted in the round on size US 8 double-pointed needles, the giraffe is then felted in your washing machine.. The 7-page pattern includes instructions for knitting, felting, using string for joints, attaching the glass eyes, etc. $2.50
		Elephant Pattern The 8-page elephant pattern has directions to knit with one strand of wool yarn. I almost ran out, though, as the ears take up quite a lot of yarn! I'd recommend buying two skeins of a 220-yard wool yarn for this project. I've assumed she's a "she" as she doesn't have tusks! Here, she has blue glass eyes with pupils and a felt mouth, but you could use black, shoe-button glass eyes or embroider her eyes if you'd prefer.. Her limbs are string jointed with waxed thread. $2.50
	Lion Pattern Lion's mane and tail are knit with one strand of wool yarn held together with one strand of wool. His body and legs are knit with wool. He has amber glass eyes with pupils and is string jointed with waxed thread. His nose and mouth are embroidered. You may purchase the pattern here for $2.50
		White Sheep Pattern White Sheep gets a great coat by knitting his body with one strand of wool held together with one strand of textured yarn. I've used Sirdar's Snuggly Bubbly, but you could substitute eyelash yarn for a furry sheep, instead. The 8-page pattern comes with all directions for knitting, felting and assembling. $2.50
		Blue Jay Bird Pattern This is a great project to try if you'd like to experiment with all kinds of fiber media. The blue jay's body is first knitted in the round, then felted. Wool roving is then needle felted over the body form and finally his wings, tail feathers and beak are wet felted. You could substitute purchased felt for these pieces, instead; however. The 8-page pattern gives all instructions for knitting, felting, wet felting and needle felting. $2.50
	Scarlet King Snake The Scarlet King Snake wants you to remember his red head means he's the harmless guy! The 4-page pattern includes directions for felting and for attaching glass eyes. $2.50
	Little Chick; Big Chick Pattern The 8-page Little Chick; Big Chick pattern comes with complete directions for making both chicks. Big Chick uses size US 10 1/2 Double-Pointed Needles and Little Chick uses size US 8 Double-Pointed Needles. The beaks are wet felted, and the top feathers on Little Chick's head are cut from a purchased felt square. $2.50 This goose is guaranteed not to honk when you pass by! He is knit in the round on size US 8 double-pointed needles, then felted in your washing machine. The pattern includes instructions for knitting, felting, wet felting the beak, attaching glass eyes and string jointing his wings.	We make a great team!
