From stuffed animals to hand puppets, 60 Quick Knitted Toys is a toy chest of inventive, irresistible patterns to knit. The 60 projects range from a knitted toolkit — saw, hammer and screwdriver — to a ballerina doll, a menagerie of hippos, owls, foxes and monkeys, games like jumbo tic-tac-toe and penguin bowling, and a medieval set complete with king, queen and a very charming dragon.

Every pattern is worked in Cascade Yarns 220 Superwash, the smooth, machine-washable worsted we keep on the wall in a wide colour range — so you can knit a toy that survives being loved, and match your colours in person before you cast on.
