Author: Sarah-Jane Hicks

Take up your hook and with the expert guidance of crochet and amigurumi expert Sarah-Jane Hicks, recreate the wonderful world of Aardman Animations’ beloved twosome, Wallace & Gromit and their friends and foes!

Taking inspiration from the award-winning short films A Grand Day Out, The Wrong Trousers, A Close Shave and A Matter of Loaf and Death, you too can crochet not only 8 of the key characters from the films, and ‘props’ including the Cooker and rocket from A Grand Day Out, plus sheep from A Close Shave, but also the characters’ accessories and costumes, including.

• Gromit’s raincoat and sou’wester from The Wrong Trousers
• Shaun the Sheep’s trademark woolly jumper (from A Close Shave)
• Master criminal Feathers McGraw’s ‘cunning disguise’…

Sarah-Jane Hicks introduces the key crochet techniques required to make up the characters, then features the patterns required with images of the finished works, all elaborated with stills from the films they appear in.
