For more than a decade, Edward’s Menagerie has helped countless crafters learn how to crochet, and to celebrate ten years since the original publication of Kerry Lord’s first book we are proud to release the updated and expanded edition.

Edward’s Menagerie is a collection of 50 animal soft toy crochet patterns that are suitable for beginners to advanced crocheters. These cute animals with larger-than-life personalities are made using simple crochet techniques and the step-by-step instructions enabling a complete beginner to get hooking straight away. Each animal also has a universal pattern, so you can change your hook and yarn to create four different sizes, from small to giant!

In the decade since its first publication Kerry has revisited and revised patterns as additional techniques and new colours have become available. This 2024 edition contains 17 new patterns that are not featured in the original book, and a further 13 revised patterns which have been reworked and perfected. The beginner step-by-step techniques have been expanded, and every project has fully listed yarn colours and double knit quantities.
