Chez Myrtil: More Seamless Friends to Knit and Love by Cinthia Vallet includes patterns for 12 endearing, seamlessly knitted toy animals, plus their garments. The animals are worked in the round, starting from the nose and knitting down to the feet — growing a toy rather than building it. The garments are also knitted seamlessly, with various constructions and techniques. You can choose your favourite method for working small circumferences, as the instructions are written to work with any setup.
Step inside Myrtil’s house and meet its charming inhabitants like Frankie the Fox, Merle the Crocodile, Edward the Badger, Winston the Lion, and everyone else!
Myrtil the Bear
Myrtil is a cheerful bear with a big, kind heart. Nothing brings him more joy than waking up to the lively sounds of his home, where he runs a bustling boarding house for all his beloved animal friends.
Yarns: Annabel Williams Devon 4 Ply, Magpie Fibers Solo Fingering, Riverknits Chimera and Säie Wool Merino Sock.
Merle the Crocodile
Merle is the latest newcomer to Myrtil’s house. He is a friendly, gentle crocodile with a passion for playing the guitar, good food, and catching crayfish.
Yarn: John Arbon Textiles Yarnadelic Sport.
Merri the Mole
Merri is the heart and soul of Myrtil’s house, making sure everyone feels loved and welcome. Her favourite place is either in the kitchen preparing lovely treats, or at the marketplace, savouring the wonderful scents of fresh ingredients and the bustling atmosphere.
Yarns: Maison Corlène Les P’tits Mousses, The Wool Kitchen Silk Mohair and Isager Silk Mohair.
Sadie the Mouse
Sadie is a sweet little mouse who used to work as a tooth fairy, collecting all the fallen little teeth. After settling into Myrtil’s house, she studied hard to achieve her long-held dream of becoming a dentist, and now she proudly takes care of all the animals’ smiles.
Yarn: Wool Kitchen Merino & Nylon Sock.
Didi and Tsutsu
Didi the Little Mole and Tsutsu the Little Bear make sure there is always plenty of hustle and bustle in Myrtil's house. This lively duo loves nothing more than splashing in the pond and enjoying honey-flavoured candies.
Yarns: Maison Corlène Les P’tits Mousses, Annabel Williams Devon 4 Ply, Säie Wool Merino Sock and The Wool Kitchen Merino Sock.
Mirabella the Dog
Mirabella is a playful and lively dog who is constantly looking for any excuse to swim and splash around in the water. In fact, fishing is her absolute specialty!
Yarns: Knitting for Olive Merino, The Lamb & Kid Birdie, Riverknits Chimera and Nene 4 Ply.
Frankie the Fox
Frankie is a journalist and a curious, kind-hearted fox who always knows how to show consideration for her friends. She loves words and creating crossword puzzles.
Yarns: Lanivendole A Chic Blend and Maison Corléne Les P’tits Mousses.
Jodie the Turtle
Jodie is calm, quietly confident, and grounded – all of which are wonderful qualities for a beekeeper. She enjoys still moments, simply feeling the sun and warm air on her skin, and breathing in the scents of a quiet morning.
Yarn: Säie Wool Merino Sock.
Edward the Badger
Edward is a wonderful storyteller, a lover of literature, and a creative soul who has a gift for sparking inspiration in others as well. His dream is to write his own plays and bring them to life on stage.
Yarns: Daughter of Shepherd Drover Sock and Lanivendole A Chich Blend.
Winston the Lion
Winston is one of Myrtil’s oldest friends. He is a painter and a wanderer at heart who travels a lot, but he also loves the sweet moment of coming back home to his dear friends.
Yarns: Säie Wool Merino Sock and Silk Mohair.
Odile the Bunny
Odile and Myrtil have been friends since childhood. Odile likes to be outside in the garden. She knows so many plants – including their Latin names – and gently takes care of even the smallest creatures in the world.
Yarn: Ovis Et Cetera Igneae.
