Mouche and her friends by Cinthia Vallet

THE book for knitting the most adorable bestiaries

Mouche & Friends is Cinthia Vallet's first book. It includes patterns for 12 knitted toy animals, along with their clothing 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 toy-making process is unique and completely transparent. The animals are knitted with natural fibers and worked in the round, starting at the nose and working down to the feet— growing a toy rather than building one .

It is fascinating to see how these little creatures come to life when knitted.

The book is intended for knitters of all kinds . Cinthia guides her readers through the techniques step by step 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.

"Mouche and Friends" is more than a knitting book. It's a charming imaginary 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 friends. She is known for her charming, seamless knitted 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 . With an aesthetic rooted in her passion for children's literature, Cinthia develops her characters as an illustrator would, but with wool and in three dimensions. She gives each one a name, a story, a little bit of soul, and a lot of herself.
