Knitted Aliens
Twenty To Make Series

by Fiona McDonald

      Have you ever seen a Fragmolite? How about a Welpmina or a Helipop? Inside this book are knitting patterns for twenty aliens, together with twenty ideas for variations on them. They are out of this world!

Just the thing for people who have learned to knit and are up to tackling a small pattern, or anybody else who is looking for some wee creatures for whatever purpose and wants to use up some spare yarn. These aliens all come with a few lines about where they come from and what they are like, just the sort of thing to get children’s imaginations working in overdrive. They would make great party favors, prizes, or gifts to hang on a Christmas tree or charity bazaar items. Each project has a double page spread with a whole page format photograph of the alien and its variation, plus details about what you need (mainly 8-ply yarn), size of needles, written (not charted) instructions and how to make them up. The instructions are easy to follow, laid out in sections for different body parts and with each new instruction on a separate line. You won’t find knitting instructions in here, but there are some hints as to safety, what to use as filling etc, and in truth everything you need to know for everybody but the most inexperienced knitter.
