Blue’s Creatures were born out of a desire to knit small, rather offbeat toys that would make use of variegated yarn, be easy enough to tackle without being an expert knitter, and for once not involve scores of fiddly knitted sections that then need laboriously sewing together. I’m a knitter, not a sewer!

Each creature can be made from small amounts of yarn, standard sized needles and a few extra beads and trimmings. Oh and stuffing of course, or the likes of Flat Cat will be even flatter than intended. As long as you can knit and purl, knit two stitches together and knit into the front and back of a stitch, you can make these toys. Some sewing is required, but folding and squishing till cuteness is achieved are more useful skills.
