Knitting patterns for pets include a menagerie of animals readers have always wanted to create. Many of the projects include knitting instructions for accessories such as a dog bed and yummy carrots for the rabbits. The patterns make ideal knitting for beginners and the more advanced, with knitting techniques ranging from easy knit and purl to sock knitting styles on double pointed needles.

We love our pets for their companionship and unique characters, so Claire Garland has packed plenty of personality into each one of these little guys. Every creature has the adorable charm and mischievous quirkiness that we expect from our animals—just knit them up and watch them come to life before your eyes.

So no matter what pet you’ve always dreamt of having, whether it’s a puppy, chicken, or even a dinosaur, you’re only a few rows or rounds away from owning it
