The start of the book has useful information on yarns used and knitting know how such as stitches and tension and tips for sewing up and stuffing. If you like making stuffed toys and have a fan of Shaun the Sheep in the family these will be a great set of toys to make. The author suggests embroidering eyes and other features if giving to a small child.
Starting with the title - an excellent play on words for an excellent, original book, that is lots of fun. The book contains eleven patterns for characters from Shaun the Sheep, well supported with close up photographs showing how to construct the characters.

Clear instructions are present along with lists of materials used, basic knitting stitches, and detailed information showing how to assemble the characters.

Shaun The Sheep Baa-rilliant Knits by Sachiyo Ishii is a delightful book. Thank you Sachiyo for going to the trouble of creating the knitting patterns for the characters of Shaun the Sheep. The patterns include Shaun (up right and on all fours), the Farmer, Bitzer, Timmy and his teddy bear, Timmys Mum, the Naughty Pigs, Mower Mouth, Raul, Shirley and The Twins along with their accessories.
There are excellent photos of the knits, with some good close-ups for assembling the characters and, just for fun, stills from the actual cartoon dotted throughout the book. The pattern instructions are clear and easy to follow. Sachiyo includes chapters on Materials & Tools, Basic Knitting Know-how, Sewing & Stitches and Sewing Up & Stuffing, so the basics are there before you get knitting.
The patterns use mainly knit and purl stitches and increase and decrease stitches to make the shapes, so if youre a knitter youll find it a breeze. For a complete novice to knitting you may need to look into how to cast on and off before you get started as these techniques are not covered in the book. Sachiyo provides info on the materials she has used and gives knitting needle sizes in UK, US and millimetres.
I think if you enjoy knitting and like Shaun the Sheep you will have fun creating these characters for yourself or someone else.
From an exciting cover to pages that are filled with fun filled projects, this is an inspirational book that will be perfect for Shaun the sheep lovers or friends who are happy to knit for them.
With step by step instructions and visual aids to help the knitter, one can feel confident that the projects will turn out perfectly.
Once the main body is knitted the accessories will be a great way to use up stash.
