Step-by-step illustrations and project instructions along with pattern templates provide everything the reader needs to make these 12 charming creatures, plus cute clothes and accessories like dresses and tops, scarves and hats, skirts and pants all made from socks, fabric scraps, and trims.

Choose from characters Poppo Piggy, with this big button nose and floppy ears; Jeff Bear, with his lanky body smartly dressed in a turtleneck and corduroy pants; or Wind Lion with his mane of colourful fabric scraps and sideways expression.
