Knitted Loves and Socks Appeal

January 28, 2011

Inspired by the Japanese craft trend, amigurumi are little knitted animal friends that can be made for children.  Little knitted Creatures by Amy Gaines contains 26 amigurumi patterns, each one cuter than the next, perfect for the knitting grandmother or aunt to create. Whether you choose the squirrel, ladybug, hedgehog or whale, creating one of these is knitting love.

Can’t knit?  Brenna Maloney had a book of fun and funky friends sewn from socks—Socks Appeal. Consider making a Masked, marauder rabbit, a hamster or a dinosaur.  Cuddly fun.
