As well as 17 different animals to knit and love, including a puffin, an orangutan, a turtle and a unicorn, you can also make Mini Robyn Octopus, Mini Mabel Bunny and Mini Chloe Cat, which are 30-40cm tall. Or knit Amelia Turtle who can also be used as a fun pyjama case!  The projects are aimed at beginners to improvers and are suitable for someone who has mastered the basics of knitting.
