Fly & his friends
by Cinthia Vallet
Book in French
216 pages
Flies & Friends is Cinthia Vallet's first book.
It will allow you to knit 12 characters as well as their clothes and accessories.
Come meet Mouche the bear and his adorable friends: Henri the orangutan, Agi the sheep, Billie the raccoon and many more!
Cinthia's manufacturing method is unique and seamless. The animals are knitted with natural fibers and worked in the round, starting at the nose and working down to the feet. It's fascinating to see how these little creatures come to life through knitting.
The book is intended for knitters of all levels.
Cinthia guides her readers through step-by-step techniques with clear, illustrated tutorials, making knitting easy and enjoyable.
She also shares her tips for working with small circumferences, choosing yarns, and preparing a toy-making toolbox.
Fly & Friends: Seamless Toys to Knit and Love is more than a knitting book.
It is a charming fantasy world filled with love and friendship waiting to welcome you.
"With this book, I want to offer you a poetic interlude that conveys the spirit of childhood; an enchanted interlude where we allow ourselves to dream and play," explains Cinthia.
Cinthia Vallet is a designer living in Nantes, France, with her husband, four children, and furry companions. She is known for her charming seamlessly knitted toy animals. They began to take shape in her mind after discovering the magic of seamless knitting, and her first pattern was published in 2018. Cinthia realized that if you can make a sock and shape a heel, you can also shape a small animal directly on the needles.
With an aesthetic rooted in her passion for children's literature, Cinthia develops her characters as an illustrator would, but with wool and three dimensions. She gives each one a name, a story, a little bit of soul, and a lot of herself.
