Publisher's Synopsis

Judy Carter, renowned rug hooker specialising in hooking animals, has put together a book with her best tips and techniques for creating realistic animals in Hooking Animals. She includes a range of animal species whether you want to hook your favourite wild animal or family pet using either wide- or fine-cut wool strips.

Judy provides step-by-step instructions for all stages of the rug hooking process from the initial designs to translating that design into a finished creation. She covers the differing techniques for hooking hair, fur, feathers, scales, and more. She also examines how to capture facial features, such as eyes, ears, and noses. Most importantly, she shows you how to capture an animal's personality using wool and other fibres.

Hooking Animals comes with a pull-out pattern with instructions to help you practice the tips and techniques Judy provides.
