A Day in the Jungle is a charming crochet pattern book filled with adorable amigurumi animals to make using King Cole Itsy Bitsy Cotton DK. Designed by Jenny Davey, this delightful collection brings a colourful jungle world to life with small, characterful creatures that are perfect for gifting, collecting or displaying.
Inside the book you’ll find patterns for eight miniature jungle friends: Petunia the parrot, Timothy the tiger, Beatrice the emerald tree boa, Fabian the poison dart frog, Terry the toucan, Sebastian the sloth, Lucia the ring‑tailed lemur, and Matea the monkey. Each design is just a few inches tall, making them quick to crochet and wonderfully satisfying to complete. The book features clear instructions, beautiful photography and a short story introducing each character, adding extra charm and personality to your makes.
King Cole Itsy Bitsy Cotton DK is the perfect yarn for these projects — a soft, smooth cotton available in cute 25g balls and a wide range of 40 shades, ideal for small amigurumi details and colourful accents.
