Stitches

Does anyone know of any good knitting patterns that are toys?

I've been looking for a good pattern, and I was just curious if I could get some input from others. I like knitting fun things like toys, and things that are different. Any tips would be great!

1. I have a book called World of Knitted Toys, by Kath Dalmeny. Most of the toys are knitted with sport-weight yarn over size 3 needles. It includes patterns for gorillas, kangaroos, snakes, koalas, wolves, and pigs, among others. The chapters are arranged by themes and they also include a doll (like a Canadian mountie) that goes with each one. Most of them are beginner or intermediate level patterns. knittingpatterncentral.com also has some free patterns for toys and other things. Enjoy!
2. *This site has lots of them very good site. http://www.knittingpatterncentral.com/directory/toys.php
3. I second World Of Knitted Toys. Great book, and really, if you are at least an intermediate knitter, they are really quite easy.
4. try www.knitty.com They have free knitting patterns. I really like the turtle on that I am currently making for all my nephews.
5. i get the knitting magazine from england simply knitting. they have a knitted toy designer named alan dart and his toys are outta this world.
