But what makes them truly irresistible is their wardrobe. From a crab in a bum bag and puffer vest to a sea turtle with a removable gingerbread shell, these garments are creative, detailed, and designed to be mixed, matched and reimagined.   With 44 individual garments and accessories - including customisable sweaters with colourwork motifs - this collection is rich with personality and playful detail. Each project is paired with clear, accessible patterns and supported by a comprehensive techniques section, plus fun marine facts from renowned scientists and fishermen, including lobsterman Jacob Knowles. Whether you're knitting the sea turtle's oversized, life-like shell - complete with a hidden pocket for a hot water bottle - or dressing your puffin in a varsity jacket, you'll find joy in every stitch.   Created by Karla Courtney - the designer behind the viral sea-creature knitting videos with over 15 million views - this book blends storytelling, style and skill in a way that no other knitting collection does. \u003cbr\u003e  \u003cbr\u003eBinding: Paperback \/ softback","brand":"Gardners","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56420597596533,"sku":"9781784947217","price":16.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0612\/7193\/3106\/files\/9781784947217.jpg?v=1764611863","url":"https:\/\/backstory.london\/products\/9781784947217","provider":"Backstory","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
