Wallace & Gromit: Cracking Crochet

Description

Pick up your hook and with the expert guidance of crochet and amigurumi expert Sarah-Jane Hicks, recreate the wonderful world of Aardman Animations’ beloved duo, Wallace & Gromit!

Taking inspiration from the short films A Grand Day Out, The Wrong Trousers, A Close Shave, and A Matter of Loaf and Death, crochet eight of the key characters from these thrilling tales; ‘props’ including the Cooker and Rocket from A Grand Day Out; and sheep from A Close Shave.

These include: Gromit’s raincoat and sou’wester from The Wrong Trousers, Shaun the Sheep’s trademark woolly sweater (from A Close Shave), and master criminal and antagonist of The Wrong Trousers, and BAFTA-winning/Oscar-nominated Vengeance Most Fowl Feathers McGraw’s ‘cunning disguise’…

Sarah-Jane Hicks introduces the key crochet techniques required to make up the characters, then features the patterns required with images of the finished works, all enhanced with stills from the films they appear in.
