Review
"What a delightful book! Anybody who knits would not be able to resist this one." --"Journal for Weavers Spinners & Dyers"
Product Description
A reissue of a popular and successful book, "The Knitted Farmyard" contains a collection of patterns designed to create a whole farm, including family figures, animals, buildings and fields. With drawings by Jan Messent and charming pictures of the farm and its occupants, you are shown how to make ducks, horses, sheep, hens, pigs, the farmer and his wife, a barn, ploughed fields, hayfields and much more. The base of the farm is the size of a small rug and would be ideal for a child's room. The quantities of materials needed for each piece are quite small, so you could use up leftover yarn, or whatever you have available. This book is fun, easy to follow and full of amusing, innovative ideas. Create something fantastic and knit the whole farmyard in different colours. There is plenty of scope for individual touches and extra accessories.

I was reluctant to buy this book after the poor review from one customer but the photographs of the knitted animals, buildings and people persuaded me to go ahead: and we love it. This is one of five 'knitting toys/animals' books that my children have. And their favourite. Lovely animals, good explanations, plenty of interest and play value with houses, people.... A great book!

This is a really disappointing book. I was expecting it to give alot more detail but it concentrates on how to make the knitted animals and not the actual base, some of which has no instruction AT ALL on how to make it. There is only 2 pages on the rug with instuctions and a diagram which you are required to scale up and transpose onto the canvas.
The rug is mostly tufted and knotted and not knitted at all, the flowers and details are crocheted but it doesn't tell you how to do that either. I am not happy with this book at all and wish I hadn't bought it.

I purchased this book for my mother who is an avid knitter but she was disappointed. Not all the animals pictured are included in the instructions; some of the instructions are vague and missing details; some animals are missing body parts (such as the pig's ears!).
Overall we both liked the concept of the idea and the cover - but just a little deceiving. On the upside, if you are a competent knitter you can adjust the patterns to suit yourself.
