Product Information

All of Kerry Lord and TOFT’s patterns are subject to copyright and are designed for private, personal use only. Tension is the number of stitches and rows required to achieve a given unit of measurements using a specific pattern, yarn weight and needle size.

TOFT: British Wool Yarn and Patterns for Knitting and Crochet

Please note that all measurements are a guideline and will vary with each garment dependent on style and fit. The standard crochet tension for an Edward's Menageriepattern made with TOFT DK yarn is 6 sts x 7 rnds to 3cm on a 3mm crochet hook. Once you’ve made a leg, flatten it and hold it against a ruler and it should measure 9cm for a standard animal or 5cm for a mini. Most of our patterns indicate the best range of pages to print to minimise the amount of resources used. Douglas the Highland Cow is a beginner crochet amigurumi pattern from Kerry Lord’s first book: Edward’s Menagerie.

If your tension is not quite right your finished animal might be too large or too small, and use more yarn in the process. If you're wondering how big an animal will be once you have finished crocheting it in TOFT DK yarn, we've broken down each Edward's Menageriecollection for you in a handy table below.

If the square is too small, your tension is too tight – you’ll need to increase your hook or needle size. Bringing traditional crafts and contemporary designs together using luxury materials, we specialise in beginner knit and crochet kits and have a wide range of pattern books and British wool.Projects at this level involve additional more complex techniques and are suitable for confident beginners or those with a little more experience. This is a contractual agreement between TOFT and the seller in question, and as such we are unable to sell the product through our own channels until the specified exclusivity period has ended. Some patterns may retain exclusivity to a certain subscription or retailer, usually for a period of weeks or months. Please note that if you are working from a printed version of a TOFT pattern, we are unable to replace this for you.

Edward’s Menagerie Animal Crochet Patterns Ed’s Index | the Edward’s Menagerie Animal Crochet Patterns

Edward's Menagerie is a collection of 40 animal soft toy crochet patterns designed by Kerry Lord, suitable for beginners to advanced crocheters. All you need to get started is some wool and a crochet hook, so you'll be busy making Seamus the Alpaca, Clarence the Bat, Bridget the Elephant, Rufus the Lion, Claudia the Saddleback Pig and many more - once you've made one you'll want to crochet the whole menagerie! You simply need to purchase enough yarn in a different weight (indicated on Ed’s Index) and you can then make the animal in a larger (or smaller) size.Each animal also has a universal pattern - where you can change your hook and yarn to create four different sizes, from small to giant! Please note that all measurements are approximate and can vary depending on additional features such as ears, manes, hats etc. Please check your tension before you start your project; you should not be able to see any stuffing through your stitches.
