Read an Excerpt

Welcome to the world of Peter Rabbit and his friends! It makes me so happy to share with you my love for Beatrix Potter’s characters. You see, Beatrix (am I allowed to use her first name?) and I go way back! When I was growing up in Buenos Aires, Argentina, I had all her illustrated books. When my father began to travel to London for work, he always brought me back as a gift a small porcelain figurine of one of Beatrix’s characters, all of which I still treasure.

When my sons were born, their nursery room was decorated with framed watercolour paintings of Beatrix’s drawings made by my aunt Carine, for she knew how much I loved Beatrix’s art. And in July 2019, with my husband and the boys, we rented a motorhome and spent a vacation in her beloved Lake District. We even got to visit her farmhouse, Hill Top, which is featured in The Tale of Tom Kitten.

So you see, transforming Beatrix’s drawings into crochet toys is a dream come true. I have tried to make them as easy and cuddly as possible so you can crochet them all and use them to recreate the many adventures and mischiefs Beatrix’s imagination conjured up for them in her beautiful stories.

Are you ready? Let’s start crocheting then!
