Foxy, a fashionable urban fox, and his companions—Lolly the Cat, Sasha the Dog, Banjo the Bear, Rodney the Raccoon, and Echo the Arctic Fox—are the focus of a collection of beginner-friendly knitting patterns. Follow Foxy and his companions as they go on trips near and far and learn to knit them, their clothes, and accessories. The designs and illustrations have a quirky, original style, and Foxy himself exudes understated cool—whether he's kicking back and listening to his vinyl collection at home or enjoying a macchiato with Banjo at his favorite coffee house. There are written patterns and simple charts (when required) for all the projects, as well as step-by-step instructions and artworks for all the necessary techniques and stitches. The knitted animals all share the same body, so it's just the tails and heads that need to be changed. All the animals and their clothes are knitted flat and sewn together, and they are all knitted in garter stitch (knit stitch), so they are very beginner friendly. Packed full of 50 knitting patterns, this collection offers so many options: knit Foxy and Banjo as they drink coffee and talk about their passion, music; knit Lolly's cute beret and coat that she wears as she visits the market on her way home from the publishing company where she works. As well as the wonderful photography of the friends on their adventures, there are wonderful illustrations that really bring their characters to life and will have you reaching for this book every time. The authors are sisters Daniella and Venice—Venice is an illustrator and created Foxy's world in her artworks, and Daniella brought him to life in knitted form.
