Using a clever split-page flip system, crafters choose from 30 heads, one body, and 30 pairs of arms and legs to build over a million unique monster combinations. Spiral binding keeps the book open at your chosen page while you work, making it a practical and entertaining addition to any crocheter's pattern library, whether you're a beginner or an experienced maker.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAbout the Book\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nThis is the first title in Kerry Lord's bestselling Edward's Menagerie series, and it takes the mix-and-match concept to a joyfully chaotic new level. Rather than following a single fixed pattern, readers flip through split pages to combine a head, a pair of arms, and a pair of legs from dozens of options, instantly generating a brand-new monster design each time. Every creature is worked in one piece from the top down, so there's no fiddly seaming at the end, making the projects approachable even for first-time crocheters. Alongside the flip pattern pages sit 30 pages of vivid colour photography showcasing finished monsters in a rainbow of colourways, stripes, spots, and scales, giving endless inspiration for your own creations. The book also walks through the essential techniques needed, from foundational stitches to shaping, colour changes, and attaching sew-on extras like horns, wings, eyes, and hair, so confidence builds naturally as you progress. It's a format that rewards experimentation: no two monsters ever need to be the same, and the flip-book mechanism turns pattern-following into a genuinely playful, tactile experience. Whether building a themed monster collection or simply exploring new stitch combinations, this book offers a constantly renewing source of creative challenges packed into 96 pages.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOver a million possible monster combinations from mix-and-match flip pages\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSpiral binding keeps the book open flat at your working page\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBeginner-friendly, top-down, one-piece construction with no seaming\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e30 pages of colour photography for colourway and styling inspiration\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStep-by-step guidance covering all essential crochet techniques\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA durable, giftable format built to withstand repeated use in a craft library\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nKerry Lord is the founder and creative director of TOFT, a British luxury yarn brand born from the family-run Toft Alpaca Stud farm.
