Bonnie the Cow & Friends

Dragon's Den winner Claire Gelder presents a new collection of crochet animals to crochet in chunky yarn. Create Bonnie the Highland Cow, her calf Isla, and tons of other adorable crochet dolls--whose soft, chunky yarn and long, floppy limbs are ideal for cuddling! Oversized and full of life, these crochet toys are about 28 inches tall, with the babies measuring about 14 inches.

Complete with step-by-step instructions and a section on crochet techniques, even beginners can tackle these 20 adorable crochet animal patterns! Create garden birds, deer and doe, badger and fox, cat and dog, mouse and hedgehog, owls and lovebirds, as well as a frog and baby and a goat and its kid. Which one will steal your heart first?

Once you're done, expand your collection by trying Claire's other books, Mabel Bunny & Co. and Robyn Octopus and Friends.
