About Woolly Tales
Woolly Tales is a delightful series of picture books aimed at very young children. Each book features a different knitted character and includes the knitting pattern to make them.
Babies and toddlers will love turning the colourful pages and, if the character is knitted for them, playing with the toy as they are read a Woolly Tale.
All Woolly Tales picture books are written and created entirely by husband and wife team Andy and Nicola from their home in Surrey.
Andy is a self employed graphic designer, illustrator and photographer. He designs the characters, sets and books. He also takes the photos for the stories. Nicola is a lawyer for a charity. She knits the characters and writes the knitting patterns. She also makes the sets, props and creatures for the stories.
All of the stories and characters are thoroughly checked and tested by their 1 year old son.

Knitting
Knitting toys is fun and our Woolly Tales characters are suitable for fairly novice knitters. The best thing about knitting toys is that they don’t take too long, you don’t need much yarn or to think about gauge and if your Woolly Tales character ends up either being really massive or teeny tiny, it really doesn’t matter - unlike knitting a jumper! So we hope you enjoy our knitting patterns as much as you enjoy the Woolly Tales!
