Edward's Menagerie
Animal Heads: Trophy Heads to Crochet
Condition: BRAND NEW
Format: Paperback
Overview:
Discover two beloved crochet guides in one beautifully practical collection. Edward's Menagerie gathers more than 40 soft, snuggly toy animals from the mind and needle of Kerry Lord, offering friendly, beginner-friendly patterns that grow with you. Each project uses simple stitches and clear, step-by-step instructions, so even complete newcomers can produce charming, huggable creatures in surprisingly short timeframes. A standout feature is the universal sizing system: for every animal you can create four sizes, unlocking 160 deliciously varied possibilities to mix and match in your makes. The companion volume, Animal Heads: Trophy Heads to Crochet, shifts the creative focus to decorative wall art—ten striking trophy heads you crochet as a stylish, eco-friendly alternative to hunting trophies. Together, these two paperbacks deliver a complete crochet journey—from cuddly companions for nurseries to bold, conversation-starting decor for living spaces. This paperback set is crafted for hobbyists, gift buyers, and anyone seeking warm, handmade style that’s easy to pick up and hard to put down.
What Makes This Collection Special:
This two-book collection is a thoughtful, synergistic pairing that suits both new crocheters and seasoned stitchers. Edward's Menagerie provides a welcoming entry into the craft with approachable patterns that still offer room to grow—thanks to the four-size universal pattern that increases your creative options from the very first project. Animal Heads to Crochet adds a contemporary twist, turning soft sculpture into statement decor perfect for walls or above a fireplace. The contrast between cuddly creatures and sculptural heads creates a cohesive crafting journey you can progress along at your own pace, then gift as a matched pair or display as a coordinated decor scheme. It’s the kind of set that invites gifting, hobby-led gifting, and weekend binge-making, all in a single, tidy package.
