Louise's attention to detail means that every outfit fits perfectly and you will enjoy creating all the details that make each one so distinctive. There are instructions for how to construct the animal dolls and outfits as well as step-by-step photography for any unusual techniques. Louise also explains how to follow charts for the colourwork details in the outifts, as well as step-by-step tutorials for any special stitches. The animal dolls have the same basic body shape and are the same size so that all of the outfits are interchangeable (they also work for the dolls in Knitted Animal Friendstoo), so you can mix and match your favourites. Or you can just make the animals: the animal patterns and a lot of the clothes are knitted flat and then sewn together but some of the clothing is knitted in the round. All of the techniques for making up the animals include step-by-step instructions and photography. There are so many possibilities for animal and outfit changes so that you can make the perfect doll for the cheeky monkeys in your life.

Like her original book, the patterns are easy to follow. They follow the same basic animal pattern and clothing/animal sizes in both books. I love that the outfits are interchangeable between animals. These are some of my very favorite patterns. The animals turn out just like shown in the photo. I sold several of the original animals, but I have two left that are promised to a customer, as you will see in my photo. The animal dolls all have the same basic body shape and size so that all of the outfits are interchangeable (they also work for the dolls in Knitted Animal Friends too), so you can mix and match your favourites. After the success of Knitted Animal Friends, Louise has created knitting patterns for 12 new, wild animals in their own wonderful wardrobes. This collection includes a zebra in dungarees, an elephant in a tutu, a lion in jeans, a tiger in a party dress, a chimpanzee in a rainbow cardigan, a sloth in pyjamas (of course!), a koala in a furry gilet, a bear in a fair isle sweater, a hippo in overalls, a panda in a duffle coat, a giraffe in a pinafore and a rhinoceros in a day dress – all with their own distinct personal style!

I have this author’s other friends books that are heavily used. Was thrilled to find that “wild animals” book was coming and just could not imagine her topping her other books. Well, well, this book is fantastic. The animals are extremely adorable, the clothes (as usual) are delightful. And the best part is that the clothes are interchangeable.
