The magic of a fairy tale has always lived in the details. It’s in the way a forest is described as dense and whispering, or the way a tiny cottage is said to smell of pine and woodsmoke. For crafters, there is a distinct joy in bringing those written details into our world, stitch by stitch. The TOFT Crochet Fairy Tales’ Collection does exactly that, capturing the whimsical essence of classic cottage stories, and translating them into something wonderful.
Inside the book, you will find everything you need to create the worlds of Red Riding Hood, complete with the wolf and his big ears, and Snow White, which includes patterns for all seven dwarves. You can also fly away with Thumbelina or stitch a towering beanstalk for Jack.
Like most of Kerry Lord’s designs, the patterns use straight forward, standard crochet stitches and rely on clever shaping rather than overly frustrating techniques. The patterns use Toft DK Colour, which is 100% wool, meaning each make is stitched with a gorgeous yarn that will mean the finished dolls will keep year after year.
The photography is stunning, with each project photographed in a magical way that will help you imagine your finished pieces.
