The giveaway this week is another cute knitting book that does not involve garment knitting. Knitted Farm Animals (that’s a link to my review) is a collection of 15 little animals you might find in the barnyard, from pigs and sheep and chickens to less obvious choices like a llama and a turkey.
The projects are all either garter stitch or stockinette, so they’re pretty easy, though there is a lot of finishing to sew the pieces together and add the adorable details.
Just one copy of the book this week because my daughter has insisted she needs a llama so I need to keep my copy!
If you want to be in the running for this giveaway, leave a comment below before the end of the day Sunday (that’s March 3). Since last week’s was so fun, why don’t you tell me what animal you’d most like to knit (and why, if you have a reason).
Thanks and good luck!

Would love to win that book! What a great idea!
My kids would have me make them all!
A rabbit! I love them.
I think the ram in this book is just adorable!
A bunny rabbit since my daughter is getting one for her birthday.
Oh! I’d love to make an entire pig family with squeakers inside! How amused would my little friends be?!
probably a chicken because I love them
We just got 3 backyard chickens and my daughters love them, so probably a chicken!
I love this! It would be so much fun to make these farm animal. The biggest problem would be deciding which one to make first.
I am looking for a great chicken pattern and would love this book.
How cute!
A llama!?! I gotta make a llama!
I’d knit a rooster for my brother; he has a rooster collection.
Thanks for the chance to win!
I don’t know if a goat is in there, but I can’t have a real one so I would love to make one. Or a cow, a cow for sure too.
I would knit pigs for my friends who have collections of them in china etc.
Thanks for the giveaway.
I would like to knit a cow. Just because it’s cute.
I’m actually posting so I can give this book to my boyfriend! I crochet amigurumi, but he knits, so I’d love for him to make me a chicken cause it’s one of our pet names for each other.
The chook looks cute and my grandson would adore her! Id have to make her a floral cotton vest mind you lol
I would like to knit a chicken for my friend’s daughter. I spent many a happy hour at her house with Tikka, Masala and co.
I don’t know if it’s on the book, but I’d love to knit a mouse, mommy mouse and daughter mouse, because it’s my and my daughter’s chinese zodiac sign!
Would have to be an alpaca, as I love knitting with alpaca yarn. Then maybe a rabbit knitted with angora, a cashmere knitted goat, …
I’d like to learn how to knit a llama!
I’m going to say cow because my best friend collects them and just found out her and her hubby are expecting their first baby..so a little cow would be the perfect welcoming toy
:-)
I love knitting toys. I always have small knitted items in my purse when I go on vacation. No body likes to hear a baby or a child cry. Once when I am one a plane with one I had a 3 inch small bunny i had made in my bag. From crying to helping a bunny hop with laughter and giggling. Instant gratification. I never travel without a few small gifts to ease the anxiety of the unknown.

It would be great to have this book to knit farm animals for my little daughter, she is simply crazy about small animals.
I’d love to see a goose pattern.
As my brother has started keeping Ducks, Geese, Chickens and Bantams I think I would start with something completely different and start with a Pig or a Cow.
It’s such a great book, I hope I can win this prize.
This is so adorable! My daughters started collecting yellow chicks and ducks in junior high and have kept growing their collections ever since. It’s something special between them and they are always getting and sending each other new ones when they find them. As soon as I saw this I sent them the pic and they love it. The oldest also knits and this is right up her alley. Thanks so much for the chance!
PS when they were young, we lived in a small neighborhood and kept chickens, ducks, geese, rabbits and such. It was very unusual for our area and we loved learning about each of them and sharing them with classes in school. I wonder if that’s where their love began?
I’ve seen the turkey; very cute! But I’d really like to knit the llama, maybe even a few of them so I could have a herd.
I so want this book. A knit cow would be mooost excellent
My two year old likes to act like a chicken. I would love to make her one.
When I was a little girl, 3 or 4 years old, my grandma knitted a horse for me. That was 60 years ago, time goes fast. Unfortunately I lost the horse. Therefore I would like to knit a horse, just for me.
Hmm, well I need to knit the pig first because my daughter loves pigs, then the alpaca because my sister raises them, then the ewe because I love sheep . . . and then the cat for my other daughter . . .
I live in WI– I would most definitely knit a cow!
I have a small farm with cows so it would have to be cows.
We farm and my nephew is about to have his first baby, these would be great for him/her!
I’d most like to use my wool to knit a wooly sheep.
A goat (I used to tsake care of my Grandmothers’)! However, my grandchildren would prefer chicks or rabbits.
These are adorable! I’d like to make the animals for my students. Maybe I can find a children’s book that coordinates. I love that chicken.
Sooooo cute! I love the chickens or maybe a sheep or two to knit.

I never saw a purple cow; I hope I never see one; but I can tell you anyhow; I’d rather see than be one! I love the purple cow!
The chickens are adorable. I have a friend who has a chicken so it could be for her. : )
The first animal I would have to make would be the Highland Bull for my husband. He was born in Scotland and we both love Highland ‘coos’.
I have a daughter who raises pigs for 4H, so I’d want to knit a little piggy for her!
I would love this book…I just started raising chickens and would surely make them.
I would love to knit all of them but if you want me to pick one: the sheep is my favorite!
A llama, definitely.
I would love to make the chicks in purple & pink and maybe alittle bit of both including the cow in brownish white with a bit of green. My new nephew who just turned 1 in January 2013 would like to see all these animals.
I would love to knit some sheep or maybe a cow!
I’d have to do a chicken in white to match Louise who currently lives on my porch.

My daughter says she wants me to knit her a unicorn! Maybe I could add a horn to a horse.
I’m sure she’d love any other animal also. Thanks for the giveaway!
Oh swoon! Luv, luv, luv it! Sheep would be the first animal (to add to my flock of sheep toys, handmade and purchased) followed by a llama (to start a new flock? herd? gaggle?).
thanks for the very fun giveaway!
The baby chicks are really cute but I would knit a bunny rabbit to go with my collection of ceranic bunnies in my bedroom. Thanks for the chance to win this book.

I want to make the chickens for my friend Leslie.
There is a giant metal chicken statue in front of a grocery store nearby. Friends got lost one day and kept texting that instead of finding the freeway, they were back at the giant metal chicken – happened 4 times! So I need to make a chicken.
Super cute patterns! My daughter would love making these!
