This wonderfully textured, high contrast baby book with bobble texture will delight and entertain all babies (even the grown up ones) and features an owl, a heart, a swan and a rabbit.

Worked in DK yarn, the book measures 14” x 8” (35 x 20cm) unfolded or 7” x 8” (17.5 x 20cm) folded.

You will need 150g (300m) of DK yarn in your main colour (MC) and 50g (100m) of various contrasting colours (CC). Other yarns may be used but finished size will vary.

The colours used in example are indicated in brackets, throughout the pattern, where MC and CC are mentioned. You may substitute any colours as desired – an ideal opportunity to use up some scraps! When choosing, it is useful to remember that babies are attracted to contrasting colours!

You will also need a 3.50mm hook, a needle for neatening ends and a small toy squeaker (optional).
