Colourwork Critters

Last month I shared some botanical motifs from AlterKnit, but the book also includes lots of animals! Here’s just a small selection. Want to knit some of these beings onto sweaters or hats? Get my book AlterKnit Stitch Dictionary for lots of inspiration!

Nine knitted swatches in colourwork patterns, including animals like horses, owls, raccoons. and elephants.

You can find all these motifs in AlterKnit and here are the names and page numbers to make it easy for you to find them, starting at the top left and going right, then down to the centre left, etc.
