I love the Amigurumi animals, but I do not crochet. Do you have any knitting patterns for these animals?
Love the YarnCraft episodes!
Thx.

Hi Susan,
We’ll have some great knit toys in the new Fall catalog that comes out in September, so look out for those. In the meantime, we do have knit toys, so search the Pattern Finder for them. One that I love, that’s made with new Sock-Ease, is the Miss Mousie toy. Hope that helps!
