Punch Needle Toys

Punch Needle Toys offers a delightful collection of designs and instructions for creating 20 cute and cuddly punch needle toys. These creations are part toy, part cushion, thanks to their simple outline shapes.

Punch needle is a fascinating technique that combines elements of weaving and embroidery, resulting in impactful designs that are both simple and enjoyable to craft. While punch needle embroidery is typically used for items like cushion covers and wall hangings, this book focuses on guiding you to create charming punch needle plushies.

Designer and author Caro Bello introduces a whimsical collection of 20 distinctive animal characters, including Bruno the Beaver, Enrique the Elephant, and Felipe the Fox. Each character comes with its own unique style, adorned with a variety of traditional and modern punch needle stitches to complete their outfits.

The book provides step-by-step instructions on executing different stitches, transferring embroidery designs onto fabric, selecting colours, and applying finishing techniques. All templates and patterns for both the front and back of the animals are included at full size.
